How to use Chatgpt to write comments for your code

My boss all of a sudden, for the first time in 4 months, wanted to try to understand the SQL script I had been developing for a dashboard.

So he gave me 2 hours to make the code easily understandable with inundations and comments!

Well, in short, it didn’t need me 2 hours! Thanks to Chatgpt.

ChatGPT is a powerful AI language model that can generate human-like text.

It can be used to write comments for your code, making it easier to understand and maintain.

So in this issue, Im going to give you some tips on how to use Chatgpt for making the easier to understand and maintain it.

Step 1: Identify the objective

The first step is identifying why do you need to add comments to the code.

Are you aiming to improve readability, explain the logic, or suggest optimizations?

Being clear about the purpose will help ChatGPT provide relevant insights.

Step 2: Review

Once you've received comments from ChatGPT, take a moment to review them.

Consider their relevance, accuracy, and clarity.

This step ensures you incorporate only valuable insights into your code.

Step 3: Fine-tune

If you feel the comments can be improved further, don't hesitate to fine-tune your questions or even rewrite the code.

ChatGPT is a tool, and you're the expert – make the most out of it!

ChatGPT will then generate text based on the prompt, which will include comments that explain the code.

You can then insert these comments into your code to make it more readable and understandable.

Use several iterative steps to fine-tune the comments if required!

Keep in mind that ChatGPT is an AI model and its comments may not always be perfect.

It’s always a good idea to review the generated comments and make any necessary edits before using them in your code.

That’s it! Using ChatGPT to comment on your code can save you time and effort, and make your code easier to understand for others.
