From confusion to clarity – AI explains what code does in plain English
Making sense of complex code can be challenging. Luckily, AI is here to help. This technology can break down and clarify the purpose of various code snippets, saving time and reducing confusion. In this section, we’ll focus on this aspect of AI, discussing its role in enhancing efficiency and promoting skill development among programmers. This can help developers work more efficiently and learn new skills.
We will use a code snippet in TypeScript to illustrate how to prompt an LLM to explain it.
