How to use this tool?
This free online converter lets you convert code from COBOL to Matlab in a click of a button. To use this converter, take the following steps -
- Type or paste your COBOL code in the input box.
- Click the convert button.
- The resulting Matlab code from the conversion will be displayed in the output box.
Examples
The following are examples of code conversion from COBOL to Matlab 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.
COBOL
Matlab
Example 2 - Even or Odd
A well commented function to check if a number if odd or even.
COBOL
Matlab
Key differences between COBOL and Matlab
| Characteristic | COBOL | Matlab |
|---|---|---|
| Syntax | COBOL has a verbose and English-like syntax. | Matlab has a concise and mathematical syntax. |
| Paradigm | COBOL is primarily procedural. | Matlab is primarily a high-level programming language for numerical computing. |
| Typing | COBOL is statically typed. | Matlab is dynamically typed. |
| Performance | COBOL is known for its efficient performance. | Matlab is optimized for numerical computations but may not be as performant for general-purpose tasks. |
| Libraries and frameworks | COBOL has limited libraries and frameworks compared to other languages. | Matlab has a wide range of libraries and toolboxes for various scientific and engineering applications. |
| Community and support | COBOL has a smaller and more specialized community compared to other languages. | Matlab has a large and active community with extensive support resources. |
| Learning curve | COBOL has a steep learning curve due to its complex syntax and legacy nature. | Matlab has a relatively gentle learning curve, especially for those with a background in mathematics or engineering. |
