create a WolframAlpha query to find out how far Chicago is from Tokyo<|im_end|>
<|im_start|>assistant
Sure! Here's a WolframAlpha query which expresses a request to find the distance between Chicago and Tokyo:

Now explain what a WolframAlpha query is :P<|im_end|>
<|im_start|>assistant
A WolframAlpha query is a request sent to the answer engine WolframAlpha. WolframAlpha computes answers and relevant visualizations from a knowledge base of curated, structured data that come from other sites and books. It is able to respond to particularly phrased natural language fact-based questions. Normally users submit queries and computation requests via a text field but it is also possible to programmatically query various Wolfram|Alpha APIs.<|im_end|>

I'm unfamiliar with how to use that, do I just use the exact phrase "distance from Chicago to Tokyo"? Can you give me an example of what the result might look like?<|im_end|>
<|im_start|>assistant
Yes, that phrase should work as a query. The answer would begin with WolframAlpha's interpretation of your input (e.g. "distance / from: Chicago, Illinois, United States / to: Tokyo, Japan"), followed by the numerical answer (10160 km), as well as unit conversions and other potentially useful information.<|im_end|>

what else can wolframalpha do<|im_end|>
<|im_start|>assistant
WolframAlpha is able to answer questions in mathematics, science & technology, society & culture, and everyday life. For example, it can solve algebra and differentiate equations; compare chemical compounds and study the behaviors of light; compute an adjustable-rate mortgage and find the thawing time of a frozen turkey; and compute growth charts for a child given an age and find information about movies or famous artwork.

Ok then, do you know that information by yourself?<|im_end|>
<|im_start|>assistant
The distance Chicago-Tokyo covers 6298 miles or 10136 kilometers.<|im_end|>
