 Notice. New forum software under development. It's going to miss a few functions and look a bit ugly for a while, but I'm working on it full time now as the old forum was too unstable. Couple days, all good. If you notice any issues, please contact me. |

If you are an old f*rt like me, you may remember that a certain function is possible but not remember how. Ask Chat GPT. Example: In BASIC, how do you concatenate two nibbles to make a byte? On the present project I asked her three questions of that kind and she knew the correct answers to all three. |

I use ChatGPT 4.0 daily for work. Saved me a heap of time in development and brainstorming code. Its not perfect, you need to consider it a work colleague that gets it wrong fairly often. Glenn The best time to plant a tree was twenty years ago, the second best time is right now. JAQ |

Yep agree Gizmo these AI tools are a good aid but they are not always right or the best way. For the last 30+ years I have used the C++ Microsoft Foundation Classes in projects. Although there is a stack of info in the SDK it can be time consuming chasing down info if it’s not just run of the mill use of functions and some that is critical to your use is in another location, or just not mentioned. I have used Copilot as a memory aid and solution explorer and generally it speeds up coding BUT don’t expect the code to be the most efficient way of doing the task or it may not mention that you also need to include additional code to make it work. Sometimes a google search is a better option. So being in my 70’s with the memory challenges of that age my method is try the SDK, then CoPilot then google. Gerry |
