Common building methods of auto-code generation

As described in the previous sections, different levels of experienced users can make use of code assistants to generate the desired code to meet functional requirements. In this section, we will walk through some common building methods useful for auto-code generation, depending on the complexity of the requirements. We will use Amazon Q Developer integration with JetBrains’ PyCharm IDE to illustrate how a code assistant can help users automate the generation of code fragments and/or get recommendations from the system.

Now, let’s begin with each of the code-building methods used in the auto-code generation technique.

Single-line code completion

Code assistants that leverage LLMs can keep track of all the prompts provided as input by a user. At runtime, code assistants use all the input information to suggest relevant code. Here is a simple demonstration of how Amazon Q Developer helps users with single-line code...
