This is a GenAI (Copilot) version of my handcrafted project erikw/cs50p-project. Just for fun, the code in this project was not used during or for the course. I just wanted to see how GenAI compare to manual coding using a rather minimal and lazy prompt, taking the very first output without refining the prompt.
The following user prompt fed to Copilot that generated this project:
Create a python project using poetry. The project should be called visa-tool and be a tool that helps answering questions related to Visa issues. This would be showing the visa information per country, and a last exit day out of the country calculator. That calculator should take input the date of entry in the country, number of days the entry is valid for, and then output the last day one can stay in the country before one needs to exit. The program should support these features in an interactive mode, or by selecting a feature with arguments directly from CLI args.
Only three lines was needed to be manually fixed for the generated code to run. I would say the generated version of this project is maybe 70% as good as the one I wrote myself, but took only 5 minutes in total compared to two full working days!
Important
Everything below is generated:
The visa-tool is a Python application designed to assist users with questions related to visa issues. It provides information about visa requirements for different countries and includes a calculator to determine the last day one can stay in a country based on their entry date and the validity of their visa.
- Visa Information: Retrieve visa requirements and details for various countries.
- Exit Day Calculator: Calculate the last day one can stay in a country based on the date of entry and the number of valid days.
To install the visa-tool, you need to have Poetry installed. Once you have Poetry set up, you can install the project by running:
poetry installYou can use the visa-tool in two ways: interactively or via command-line arguments.
To start the interactive mode, run:
poetry run python -m visa_tool.cli interactiveYou can also access specific features directly from the command line. For example:
- To get visa information for a specific country:
poetry run python -m visa_tool.cli visa_info <country_name>- To calculate the last exit day:
poetry run python -m visa_tool.cli calculate_exit_day <entry_date> <valid_days>Contributions are welcome! Please feel free to submit a pull request or open an issue for any enhancements or bug fixes.
