How to use this tool?
This free online converter lets you convert code from C++ to Kotlin 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 Kotlin code from the conversion will be displayed in the output box.
Examples
The following are examples of code conversion from C++ to Kotlin 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.
C++
Kotlin
Example 2 - Even or Odd
A well commented function to check if a number if odd or even.

Key differences between C++ and Kotlin
Characteristic | C++ | Kotlin |
---|---|---|
Syntax | C++ has a complex syntax with a lot of rules and exceptions. It uses semicolons to end statements and curly braces to group statements into blocks. It also has a lot of operators and keywords. | Kotlin has a more concise and intuitive syntax than C++. It uses semicolons optionally and has a more consistent use of curly braces. It also has a lot of modern language features like null safety and lambdas. |
Paradigm | C++ supports multiple paradigms including procedural, object-oriented, and generic programming. | Kotlin is a multi-paradigm language that supports object-oriented, functional, and procedural programming. |
Typing | C++ is a statically typed language, which means that the type of a variable is determined at compile time. | Kotlin is also a statically typed language, but it has type inference, which means that the type of a variable can be inferred by the compiler. |
Performance | C++ is known for its high performance and low-level memory manipulation capabilities. | Kotlin is a high-level language and is not as performant as C++. However, it can still be used for performance-critical applications. |
Libraries and frameworks | C++ has a large number of libraries and frameworks available, especially for system-level programming and game development. | Kotlin has a growing number of libraries and frameworks available, especially for Android development and web development. |
Community and support | C++ has a large and active community with many resources available online. | Kotlin has a growing community and is backed by Google, which provides resources and support. |
Learning curve | C++ has a steep learning curve due to its complex syntax and low-level memory manipulation capabilities. | Kotlin has a relatively low learning curve, especially for developers familiar with Java or other object-oriented languages. |
