How to use this tool?
This free online converter lets you convert code from C to Rust 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 Rust code from the conversion will be displayed in the output box.
Examples
The following are examples of code conversion from C to Rust 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.

Rust
Example 2 - Even or Odd
A well commented function to check if a number if odd or even.

Key differences between C and Rust
Characteristic | C | Rust |
---|---|---|
Syntax | C has a simple syntax with a focus on low-level programming. | Rust has a more complex syntax with a focus on memory safety and modern programming concepts. |
Paradigm | C is a procedural language with some support for object-oriented programming. | Rust is a multi-paradigm language with support for functional and imperative programming, as well as object-oriented programming. |
Typing | C is a statically typed language with weak typing. | Rust is a statically typed language with strong typing and type inference. |
Performance | C is known for its high performance and low-level control over system resources. | Rust is also known for its high performance, but with added safety features that can sometimes impact performance. |
Libraries and frameworks | C has a large number of libraries and frameworks available, particularly for system-level programming. | Rust has a growing number of libraries and frameworks available, with a focus on safety and performance. |
Community and support | C has a large and established community with many resources available for learning and support. | Rust has a smaller but growing community with a focus on safety and modern programming concepts. |
Learning curve | C has a relatively steep learning curve, particularly for beginners with no prior programming experience. | Rust has a steep learning curve, particularly for beginners with no prior programming experience, but with added safety features that can make it easier to write correct code. |
