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

Key differences between Fortran and Julia
Characteristic | Fortran | Julia |
---|---|---|
Syntax | Fortran has a more traditional syntax, with a focus on mathematical notation and array operations. | Julia has a more modern syntax, with a focus on simplicity and ease of use. |
Paradigm | Fortran is primarily a procedural language, but also supports object-oriented programming. | Julia is a multi-paradigm language, supporting functional, procedural, and object-oriented programming. |
Typing | Fortran is a statically typed language. | Julia is a dynamically typed language. |
Performance | Fortran is known for its high performance in scientific computing and numerical analysis. | Julia is designed for high performance, with a just-in-time (JIT) compiler and support for parallel computing. |
Libraries and frameworks | Fortran has a large number of libraries and frameworks for scientific computing and numerical analysis. | Julia has a growing number of libraries and frameworks for scientific computing and data analysis. |
Community and support | Fortran has a long history and a large community of users, with good support for scientific computing and numerical analysis. | Julia has a growing community of users, with good support for scientific computing and data analysis. |
Learning curve | Fortran has a steep learning curve, with a focus on low-level programming and mathematical notation. | Julia has a relatively gentle learning curve, with a focus on simplicity and ease of use. |
