In LangChain's Expression Language (LCEL), what does the pipe (|) operator do when connecting components?
Answer choices
Why each option matters
Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
✓
It passes the output of the left component as input to the right component
In LCEL, the | operator chains components by passing the output of the left component as input to the right component. This allows composing chains like prompt | model | output parser.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
It conditionally selects one of the two components based on a flag
Why it's wrong here
Conditional logic requires a RunnableBranch or similar construct, not the pipe operator.
- ✗
It repeats the left component's execution until a condition is met
Why it's wrong here
Repetition or loops are not supported by the pipe operator; it executes exactly once per component.
- ✓
It passes the output of the left component as input to the right component
Why this is correct
This is the core behavior of LCEL — each component's output becomes the next component's input, enabling easy chain construction.
- ✗
It runs both components in parallel and merges their outputs
Why it's wrong here
The pipe operator runs components sequentially, not in parallel.
