Student Activity: Exploring Advanced Features of AI Coding
Assistants
Welcome to this hands-on activity session where you'll get to explore the advanced features of
AI coding assistants. This activity is designed for beginners and will guide you through practical
examples to help you understand and apply these features effectively. Let's dive in!

1. Multi-language Coding Support: Translating Code


Across Programming Languages
In this section, you'll practice translating code between different programming languages using
AI coding assistants.

Example 1: Python to JavaScript

Python Code:

def greet(name):
return f"Hello, {name}!"

print(greet("World"))

Translate to JavaScript:

function greet(name) {
return `Hello, ${name}!`;
}

console.log(greet("World"));

Example 2: Java to C++


Java Code:

public class Main {


public static void main(String[] args) {
System.out.println("Hello, World!");
}
}

Translate to C++:

#include <iostream>

int main() {
std::cout << "Hello, World!" << std::endl;
return 0;
}

Example 3: JavaScript to Python

JavaScript Code:

function add(a, b) {
return a + b;
}

console.log(add(5, 3));

Translate to Python:

def add(a, b):


return a + b

print(add(5, 3))

Activity: Use an AI coding assistant to translate these examples and verify the translations by
running the code in the respective languages.
2. Automatic Documentation Generation Using AI: Code
Comments and External Documentation
In this section, you'll learn how AI can help generate documentation for your code.

Example 1: Inline Comments

Python Code:

def calculate_area(radius):
# Calculate the area of a circle
return 3.14 * radius * radius

AI-Generated Comment:

def calculate_area(radius):
# Calculate the area of a circle using the formula: π * r^2
return 3.14 * radius * radius

Example 2: External Documentation

JavaScript Code:

function multiply(a, b) {
return a * b;
}

AI-Generated Documentation:

Function: multiply
Description: Multiplies two numbers and returns the result.
Parameters:
- a: The first number.
- b: The second number.
Returns: The product of the two numbers.
Example 3: Python Function with Docstring

Python Code:

def greet_user(username):
return f"Welcome, {username}!"

AI-Generated Docstring:

def greet_user(username):
"""
Greets the user with a welcome message.

Parameters:
username (str): The name of the user.

Returns:
str: A welcome message for the user.
"""
return f"Welcome, {username}!"

Activity: Use an AI coding assistant to generate documentation for these examples and
compare it with the provided documentation.

3. Integrating AI Assistants into CI/CD Pipelines


In this section, you'll explore how AI can be integrated into CI/CD pipelines to automate code
reviews and testing.

Example 1: Code Review

Code Snippet:

def divide(a, b):


return a / b

AI Review Suggestion:
Check for division by zero to prevent runtime errors.
Example 2: Automated Testing

Code Snippet:

function isEven(num) {
return num % 2 === 0;
}

AI-Generated Test Case:

console.assert(isEven(4) === true, "Test Case 1 Failed");


console.assert(isEven(5) === false, "Test Case 2 Failed");

Example 3: Code Optimization

Code Snippet:

public int sum(int[] numbers) {


int total = 0;
for (int i = 0; i < numbers.length; i++) {
total += numbers[i];
}
return total;
}

AI Optimization Suggestion:
Use enhanced for-loop for better readability: for (int number : numbers)

Activity: Use an AI coding assistant to review and test these examples, and implement any
suggested improvements.

Conclusion
By completing these activities, you have gained hands-on experience with the advanced
features of AI coding assistants. These tools can help you translate code, generate
documentation, and automate parts of the CI/CD process, making you a more efficient and
effective developer. Keep practicing and exploring these features to enhance your coding skills
further!
