How to use this tool?

This free online converter lets you convert code from C++ to COBOL in a click of a button. To use this converter, take the following steps -

  1. Type or paste your C++ code in the input box.
  2. Click the convert button.
  3. The resulting COBOL code from the conversion will be displayed in the output box.

Examples

The following are examples of code conversion from C++ to COBOL using this converter. Note that you may not always get the same code since it is generated by an AI language model which is not 100% deterministic and gets updated from time to time.

Key differences between C++ and COBOL

CharacteristicC++COBOL
SyntaxC++ has a syntax similar to the C programming language, with additional features such as classes and objects.COBOL has a verbose and English-like syntax, designed for business applications.
ParadigmC++ supports multiple paradigms including procedural, object-oriented, and generic programming.COBOL is primarily a procedural programming language, with limited support for object-oriented programming.
TypingC++ is a statically typed language, with support for both strong and weak typing.COBOL is a statically typed language, with strong typing.
PerformanceC++ is known for its high performance and efficiency, allowing low-level memory manipulation.COBOL is not known for its performance, as it is designed for business applications rather than performance-critical tasks.
Libraries and frameworksC++ has a wide range of libraries and frameworks available, covering various domains and use cases.COBOL has limited libraries and frameworks available, mainly focused on business applications.
Community and supportC++ has a large and active community, with extensive documentation and support available.COBOL has a smaller and less active community compared to C++, with limited support available.
Learning curveC++ has a steep learning curve, due to its complex syntax and various language features.COBOL has a relatively low learning curve, especially for programmers with a background in business applications.
