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 -

  1. Type or paste your C++ code in the input box.
  2. Click the convert button.
  3. 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.

Key differences between C++ and Kotlin

CharacteristicC++Kotlin
SyntaxC++ 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.
ParadigmC++ supports multiple paradigms including procedural, object-oriented, and generic programming.Kotlin is a multi-paradigm language that supports object-oriented, functional, and procedural programming.
TypingC++ 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.
PerformanceC++ 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 frameworksC++ 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 supportC++ 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 curveC++ 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.
