How to use this tool?
This free online converter lets you convert code from Fortran to Ada in a click of a button. To use this converter, take the following steps -
- Type or paste your Fortran code in the input box.
- Click the convert button.
- The resulting Ada code from the conversion will be displayed in the output box.
Examples
The following are examples of code conversion from Fortran to Ada 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.
Fortran
Ada
Example 2 - Even or Odd
A well commented function to check if a number if odd or even.
Fortran
Ada
Key differences between Fortran and Ada
Characteristic | Fortran | Ada |
---|---|---|
Syntax | Fortran uses a fixed-format syntax with column-based layout. It has a simple and concise syntax. | Ada uses a free-format syntax with indentation-based layout. It has a more verbose and structured syntax. |
Paradigm | Fortran is primarily a procedural programming language with support for imperative and object-oriented programming. | Ada is a multi-paradigm programming language that supports imperative, object-oriented, and concurrent programming. |
Typing | Fortran has static typing, which means that variable types are checked at compile-time. | Ada also has static typing, but it provides more advanced type checking features compared to Fortran. |
Performance | Fortran is known for its high performance in scientific and numerical computing applications. | Ada is a general-purpose language and may not have the same level of performance optimizations as Fortran in specific domains. |
Libraries and frameworks | Fortran has a wide range of libraries and frameworks available for scientific and numerical computing. | Ada has a smaller ecosystem of libraries and frameworks compared to Fortran, but it has good support for safety-critical and embedded systems. |
Community and support | Fortran has an active community and good support for scientific and numerical computing. | Ada also has an active community, but it is more focused on safety-critical and embedded systems. |
Learning curve | Fortran has a relatively steep learning curve, especially for beginners without prior programming experience. | Ada has a moderate learning curve, with a focus on strong typing and software engineering principles. |
