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

Key differences between Fortran and Fsharp
Characteristic | Fortran | Fsharp |
---|---|---|
Syntax | Fortran uses a fixed-format syntax with strict column-based rules. | F# uses a flexible and expressive syntax inspired by ML languages. |
Paradigm | Fortran is primarily a procedural programming language with support for object-oriented programming. | F# is a multi-paradigm language that supports functional, imperative, and object-oriented programming. |
Typing | Fortran has static typing with optional type declarations. | F# has static typing with type inference, allowing for concise code. |
Performance | Fortran is known for its high performance in scientific and numerical computing. | F# can achieve good performance, but it may not be as optimized for numerical computations as Fortran. |
Libraries and frameworks | Fortran has a wide range of libraries and frameworks for scientific and numerical computing. | F# has a growing ecosystem of libraries and frameworks, but it may not have as many options as Fortran in certain domains. |
Community and support | Fortran has a long-standing community and good support for scientific and numerical computing. | F# has an active community, but it may not have as extensive support for scientific and numerical computing as Fortran. |
Learning curve | Fortran has a relatively steep learning curve, especially for beginners. | F# has a moderate learning curve, especially for developers familiar with functional programming. |
