Software Engineers: Be more productive with ChatGPT

#ChatGPT being AI language model, it is designed to assist and support people in various ways, including software engineers and developers. ChatGPT abilities to generate human-like responses, provide useful information and suggest solutions can help streamline and optimize their workflows, ultimately making them more productive and efficient in their work.

Collaborating with AI like GPT can lead to better and more innovative solutions, as humans and machines can work together to solve complex problems and overcome challenges that neither could accomplish alone. It is important for individuals and businesses to embrace AI and other emerging technologies, rather than fear them as replacements or threats.

By learning to collaborate with AI and taking advantage of its capabilities, we can unlock new opportunities for growth and innovation, and ultimately create a more productive and prosperous future for everyone.

You can start using GPT to write small codes, it could be as validation on frontend using #javascript or Backend code using #java8 or #pythoncoding as example shown below. Though GPT is proficient in writing bigger programs and still learning as we will see GPT developing even full application in time to come.

Ask GPT: “Write an email validation code using JavaScript”

function validateEmail(email) {

??const re = /^[^\s@]+@[^\s@]+\.[^\s@]+$/;

?return re.test(String(email).toLowerCase());

}

?

const email = "[email protected]";

if (validateEmail(email)) {

?console.log("Valid email address");

} else {

?console.log("Invalid email address");

}

?

This code defines a function called validateEmail that takes an email address as a parameter and returns a boolean indicating whether the email address is valid or not. The regular expression used to validate the email address checks for the following:

·????????The email address must not start with a space or @ symbol

·????????The email address must contain an @ symbol

·????????The domain part of the email address must contain at least one dot (.) symbol

Then, the code creates a sample email address and uses the validateEmail function to check if it's valid or not. Depending on the result, it logs a message to the console indicating whether the email address is valid or not.

Ask GPT: “Write cross-site scripting validation code using Java”

public static boolean validateInput(String input) {

???if (input == null) {

???????return false;

???}

???// Remove all script tags and their contents

???input = input.replaceAll("(?i)<script.*?>.*?</script.*?>", "");

???// Remove all < and > characters

???input = input.replaceAll("[<>]", "");

???// Remove all & characters that are not part of an HTML entity

???input = input.replaceAll("&(?!\\w+;)", "");

???// Check if the input has been modified

???return input.equals(input);

}

This code defines a static method called validateInput that takes a string parameter representing user input and returns a boolean indicating whether the input is valid or not. The method performs the following steps:

1.???Check if the input is null. If it is, return false.

2.???Remove all occurrences of script tags and their contents using a regular expression.

3.???Remove all < and > characters from the input using a regular expression.

4.???Remove all & characters that are not part of an HTML entity using a regular expression.

5.???Compare the modified input with the original input. If they are the same, return true. Otherwise, return false.

By performing these steps, the method can help prevent cross-site scripting attacks by removing potentially harmful input from user input.
