How to use this tool?
This free online converter lets you convert code from Fortran to OCaml 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 OCaml code from the conversion will be displayed in the output box.
Examples
The following are examples of code conversion from Fortran to OCaml 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
OCaml
Example 2 - Even or Odd
A well commented function to check if a number if odd or even.
Fortran
OCaml
Key differences between Fortran and OCaml
Characteristic | Fortran | OCaml |
---|---|---|
Syntax | Fortran uses a fixed-format syntax with column-based layout. | OCaml uses a more flexible and modern syntax with significant whitespace. |
Paradigm | Fortran is primarily a procedural programming language. | OCaml supports multiple paradigms including functional, imperative, and object-oriented programming. |
Typing | Fortran has static typing with optional type declarations. | OCaml has strong static typing with type inference. |
Performance | Fortran is known for its high performance in scientific and numerical computing. | OCaml has good performance but 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. | OCaml has a smaller ecosystem of libraries and frameworks compared to Fortran, but still offers support for various domains. |
Community and support | Fortran has a long-standing community and good support for scientific computing. | OCaml has a smaller community compared to Fortran, but still has active support and development. |
Learning curve | Fortran has a relatively steep learning curve, especially for beginners. | OCaml has a moderate learning curve, with functional programming concepts potentially requiring some adjustment. |
