ChatGPT as your coding assistant

ChatGPT can work as your coding assistant and can save hours of a day. Here, I am explaining two potential assistance of ChatGPT to them who require coding in everyday use.

• Code Generator
• Debugger

Code Generator

ChatGPT can do coding in following programming language:

• Python
• JavaScript
• Java
• C++
• C#
• Ruby
• Go
• PHP
• Swift
• MATLAB
• R
• HTML/CSS
• SQL
• Shell scripting (Bash)

Let me show you an example.

Write a Matlab code that can read an excel file and extract the data of the column provided by user.

Certainly! Here’s a MATLAB code snippet that reads an Excel file and extracts the data from a specific column provided by the user:

% Prompt the user to enter the Excel file path
excelFilePath = input(‘Enter the Excel file path: ‘, ‘s’);

% Prompt the user to enter the column name or index
columnInput = input(‘Enter the column name or index: ‘, ‘s’);

% Read the Excel file
data = readtable(excelFilePath);

% Check if the user input is a numeric index
if isnumeric(str2double(columnInput))
columnIndex = str2double(columnInput);
columnName = data.Properties.VariableNames{columnIndex};
else
columnName = columnInput;
columnIndex = find(strcmp(data.Properties.VariableNames, columnName), 1);
end

% Extract the column data
columnData = data.(columnName);

% Display the extracted column data
disp(columnData);

In this way, we can generate the codes, extract information and make the plots too.

Debugger

Equipped with coding skills, ChatGPT can debug our codes too. Lets try an example:

Resolve the issue of my Matlab code:

X=1:10;
Y=2*X+1;
plot(XY)
Undefined function
or variable ‘XY’.

The issue in your MATLAB code is that you are using an undefined variable XY in the plot function. It seems like you intended to plot the variables X and Y instead. To resolve the issue, you can modify your code as follows:

X = 1:10;
Y = 2*X + 1;
plot(X, Y)

In the modified code, the plot function is called with the variables X and Y as arguments. This will plot the values in X on the x-axis and the corresponding values in Y on the y-axis.

By making this change, the plot function will work correctly and plot the desired graph of a linear equation Y = 2*X + 1.

This was an example of Matlab programming language, similarly we can dubug our issues in seconds using ChatGPT.
