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

Key differences between Fortran and Pascal
Characteristic | Fortran | Pascal |
---|---|---|
Syntax | Fortran has a fixed-format syntax with strict column-based rules. | Pascal has a free-format syntax with more flexible rules. |
Paradigm | Fortran is primarily a procedural programming language. | Pascal supports both procedural and object-oriented programming paradigms. |
Typing | Fortran has static typing with optional type declarations. | Pascal has static typing with mandatory type declarations. |
Performance | Fortran is known for its high performance in scientific and numerical computing. | Pascal is generally not optimized for high-performance computing. |
Libraries and frameworks | Fortran has a wide range of libraries and frameworks for scientific and numerical computing. | Pascal has a smaller ecosystem of libraries and frameworks compared to Fortran. |
Community and support | Fortran has an active community and good support for scientific and numerical computing. | Pascal has a smaller community and limited support compared to Fortran. |
Learning curve | Fortran has a steeper learning curve due to its strict syntax and focus on scientific computing. | Pascal has a relatively easier learning curve with a more general-purpose focus. |
