Code generation with coding assistants

Advanced coding assistants such as GPT-4 can now generate fully functional code blocks from high-level prompts. This automates the production of large segments of code, customized to developers’ needs. The AI models synthesize integrated, modular code much faster than human programmers. This code generation promises to significantly accelerate development cycles and increase programmer productivity. By automating code drafting, the AI enables developers to focus on more strategic tasks requiring human creativity.

Let’s see an example. You can use a template such as Generate a boilerplate [language] code for a [class/module/component] named [name] with the following functionality: [functionality description]., to generate some code.

Suppose you want to create a boilerplate Python code for a class named Circle:

Prompt:

Generate a boilerplate Python code for a class named Circle with the following functionality:
The class...
