AI is now part of our life. And Copilot is the AI assistant we can all have in Microsoft Visual Studio.

One of the features Copilot can be used for is to summarize a class in our code and explain it.

For example, I used it to produce a summary of the CountScore function of Huo Chess, with the following prompty

Explain how the code in #CountScore works

The output can be shown in the image below.

Copilot indeed produced a good summary, with nice structure, of what the class does and how. This can be used either for producing documentation for the application or, more importantly, for me (the programmer) to think of ways to improve the code.

In a next session, I will show how that can happen…

Keep coding!
