ChatGPT - the great programmer's code book ?

[Derek Johnson]

To be fair to Chat-GPT you didn't mention that the units could be in feet in the list of possible input values. It would be interesting to ask it to convert that code to C++ for use with an Arduino. C++ does not allow Strings in Case statements.

Wow! I just tried your exact same question again. It seems to have learned after its experience with your inputs.

In B4A: Using a scale where 16 hammer units is equal to one foot, create a Sub that converts centimeters, millimeters, meters, inches, miles, and yards to feet and convert that value to its value in hammer units.

This time the replay included an "Else" case which fixes your original issue. Does that mean that all the feedback improves its answers.

Sub ConvertToHammerUnits(value As Double, units As String)
Dim feet As Double
Select units
Case "centimeters"
feet = value / 30.48
Case "millimeters"
feet = value / 304.8
Case "meters"
feet = value / 0.3048
Case "inches"
feet = value / 12
Case "miles"
feet = value * 5280
Case "yards"
feet = value * 3
Case Else
feet = value 'assuming input is already in feet
End Select
Dim hammerUnits As Double = feet * 16
Log("Value in hammer units: " & hammerUnits)
End Sub

I also asked it to convert the code to C++ which it did flawlessly (as far as I could see).

I am using ChatGPT extensively as 'Codez please' for C# and Sql coding as I develop new app in C# with Sql as database.
I have prior knowledge of Xbase++ (Clipper/FoxPro) and DBF/NTX.

I am asking simple question to complex ones, and ChatGPT giving me codes for it with explanations, that now I more confident in C# and Sql. ?
I only Google for my query, when ChatGPT is not accessible due to heavy load. And there I have to go through number of webpages to get the correct code.

ChatGPT does gives wrong code sometimes for C#, as the functions in code is for JS or Java etc., but I get the idea and make changes in the query to get the correct code.
