Using Windsurf

1

Setup

While Windsurf supports many languages, we will demonstrate with examples in Java. In Eclipse, create a new Java file fib.java.

2

From Code

Windsurf Plugin can suggest multiple lines of code given a fragment of code that you write! Give the following simple header a shot:

package test;

public class Fib {

	public int fib(int n) {
	}

}

Windsurf Plugin should generate and suggest an entire function body, giving you a working implementation for the Nth Fibonacci number!
