What This Does?

This VS Code extension allows you to determine the time complexity of a your code (using Big O() notation) and also produces a more optimised version of your code. It does this by sending the code you highlight over to GPT-3, an AI model made by OpenAI. This then sends back the time complexity of the function which is shown in the bottom right of the IDE. If you choose to optimise it, GPT-3 will send back a more time efficient version of your code in a new editor on the right.

Features:

• Get Time Complexity
• Make Code More Efficient - With Respect To Time Complexity
• Debug Code - Removes Errors
• Make Code More Readable By Adding Comments
• Convert Code To Another Language
• Solves Programming Problems By Returning Coded Solution

How To Use The Features:

6. Wait For Result, New Editor Will Appear With Coded Solution On The Right

Tip

If Your Algorithm Takes In A Data Structure As A Parameter, Also Select The Data Structure In The Highlighted Text, Otherwise GPT-3 Wont Know The Length Of The DS.

Example: Don't Do This

DO THIS:

Demo Vid

BigO_public_vid.mp4

Running On Different Algorithms

BigO_vid_new.mp4

Using Algorithm Names:

BigO_text_vid.mp4

Using Optimise Code Feature

BigO_optimise_vid.mp4

in this case, the time complexity decreased from O(n^2) -> O(n), hence making the solution faster

Future Ideas

• Add A Loading Indicator Whilst Result Is Being Fetched
• Provide An Option To Increase Function Speed ( e.g: O(n^2) -> O(n) )
• Store Highlighted Functions
