How to Use
To get started with Pair Programmer, you will need to specify programming language you are using or want to use. By default, the field is set to Python.
Once you submit your programming language, you will receive a message similar to the one below (although the exact wording may differ) that details what Pair Programmer has to offer and provides some useful commands:
If everything looks correct, you can then write your programming question into the prompt area.
/change
The /change
command allows you to modify your preferences when interacing with Pair Programmer. Currently, it supports two options:
Programming language – Switch programming language. For example, enter
/change language=Java
to switch to Java.Interaction language – Change the language. For example, enter
/change language=Spanish
to switch to Spanish.
/implement
The /implement
command is used when you want to create a new program. It follows a five-step procedure to ensure a thorough approach:
For example, you could input/implement task=TaskDescription
. Please replace TaskDescription
with a description of the task you want to be implemented.
Example
Let's say you want to implement a program that calculates the sum of all elements in a list.
/modify
The /modify
command is used when you want changes or adjustments made to an existing program. Input /modify code=ProgramCode modifications=ProgramModification
. Please replace ProgramCode
with the program you want to modify, and ProgramModification
with a description of what you want to change.
Example
For example, imagine you have a Python function that calculates the area of a rectangle, and you want to modify it to calculate the area of a circle instead.
/test
The /test
command is used when you want me to create test cases for a given program. Input /test code=ProgramCode description=ProgramDescription
. Please replace ProgramCode
with the program you want to test, and ProgramDescription
with a description of what the program does.
Example
Let's say you have a Python function that calculates the factorial of a number and you want to create test cases for it
Regenerate response
If you are want to run a prompt again, click the Regenerate response button. It will regenerate the answer to the last prompt you submitted.
Note – The output from the first iteration will be replaced with the regenerated response.
