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

C++
Key differences between Fortran and C++
Characteristic | Fortran | C++ |
---|---|---|
Syntax | Fortran has a simpler syntax compared to C++. | C++ has a more complex syntax compared to Fortran. |
Paradigm | Fortran is primarily a procedural language with some support for object-oriented programming. | C++ is a multi-paradigm language that supports procedural, object-oriented, and generic programming. |
Typing | Fortran is a statically typed language. | C++ is a statically typed language with support for dynamic typing through templates and runtime type identification (RTTI). |
Performance | Fortran is known for its high performance in scientific and engineering applications. | C++ is also known for its high performance and is often used in systems programming and game development. |
Libraries and frameworks | Fortran has a smaller selection of libraries and frameworks compared to C++. | C++ has a large selection of libraries and frameworks available, including Boost, Qt, and STL. |
Community and support | Fortran has a smaller community compared to C++. | C++ has a large and active community with many resources and support available. |
Learning curve | Fortran has a steeper learning curve compared to C++. | C++ has a relatively steep learning curve, but it is easier to learn than Fortran due to its more modern syntax and larger community. |
