This free online converter lets you convert code from C++ to Crystal in a click of a button. To use this converter, take the following steps -
- Type or paste your C++ code in the input box.
- Click the convert button.
- The resulting Crystal code from the conversion will be displayed in the output box.
Examples
The following are examples of code conversion from C++ to Crystal 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.
Example 1 - Is String Palindrome
Program that checks if a string is a palindrome or not.

Key differences between C++ and Crystal
Characteristic | C++ | Crystal |
---|---|---|
Syntax | C++ has a complex syntax with a lot of features and options. | Crystal has a simpler and more expressive syntax compared to C++. |
Paradigm | C++ supports multiple paradigms including procedural, object-oriented, and generic programming. | Crystal is primarily an object-oriented language with some functional programming features. |
Typing | C++ is a statically typed language with support for both static and dynamic polymorphism. | Crystal is a statically typed language with type inference and support for static and dynamic dispatch. |
Performance | C++ is known for its high performance and low-level control over system resources. | Crystal provides good performance, but it may not be as fast as C++ due to its higher-level abstractions. |
Libraries and frameworks | C++ has a vast ecosystem of libraries and frameworks available for various domains and purposes. | Crystal has a smaller ecosystem of libraries and frameworks compared to C++, but it can also leverage existing C libraries. |
Community and support | C++ has a large and active community with extensive documentation and support resources. | Crystal has a smaller community compared to C++, but it is growing and has active support channels. |
Learning curve | C++ has a steep learning curve due to its complexity and low-level features. | Crystal has a relatively low learning curve, especially for developers familiar with Ruby or similar languages. |
