Well, the answer is wrong though...
The input just printed "FizzBuzz" if donut is divisible by 15, but the output also prints "Fizz" or "Buzz" if donut is divisible by 3 or 5.
It's still a pretty cool feature

not so mind-blowing, most of the code written based on a libraries

First, holy moly🤯❤

Second, I tried to translate this code:

// function that sums two numbers
function sum(a, b) {
return a + b;
}

and got "Error generating Copilot response. Try the same request a few more times or highlight a shorter snippet of code." 🙁

[Semtex]

does not work on full file, just small snippets. "Error generating Copilot response. Try the same request a few more times or highlight a shorter snippet of code."

What if I write for example python code and translate it into php?

[Zzznmop]

Does it work with 3rd party libraries or does copilot have to know about the original/mapped-to library?

[Johna]

This is actually kinda dumb. I mean yeah, you can ”translate” it, but only small ammounts of code, bc it’s just taking it from a library, if you want longer stuff in another language ur just better of doing it correctly.

How to make junior level engineering dumb 😂

I immagine this like
Github.communityRepositories.whereEqual(‘blockOfCode’, yourCode)
