Abstract

This comprehensive study meticulously investigates the intricacies and challenges inherent in the process of code conversion across a diverse range of programming languages. It provides an in-depth examination of select instances where code conversion poses significant challenges, and thoughtfully proposes innovative solutions to these complex problems. A key highlight of this research is the use of Generative Pre-trained Transformers (GPTs) like Copilot, which have proven to be instrumental in achieving fast, accurate, and effective code conversions. The paper demonstrates how GPTs have solved difficult code conversions with a few intricate examples. The research further delves into the broader implications of these solutions, assessing their impact on the field of programming and software development. Additionally, the paper identifies and discusses potential areas for future research, paving the way for further advancements in this critical aspect of programming. This research serves as a valuable resource for both novice and experienced developers navigating the complexities of code conversion.

Keywords: Generative Pre-trained Transformers (GPTs), code conversion, software development, programming languages, Copilot, artificial intelligence
