Copilot Assists Developer in Creating Free Pascal Financial Calculator

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

A user has developed a scientific and financial calculator application using Free Pascal, with assistance from Copilot. The application, part of a larger "Project AEye," can compute annuity, present value, future value, and internal rate of return (IRR). The user noted that while LLMs like Copilot are intelligent, they still require explicit instruction for certain programming logic, though they can learn and integrate this logic due to its presence in their training data.
