How to use this tool?
This free online converter lets you convert code from Fortran to Racket 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 Racket code from the conversion will be displayed in the output box.
Examples
The following are examples of code conversion from Fortran to Racket 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.

Key differences between Fortran and Racket
Characteristic | Fortran | Racket |
---|---|---|
Syntax | Fortran has a simple and concise syntax, primarily focused on numerical computations. | Racket has a flexible and expressive syntax, supporting both functional and imperative programming styles. |
Paradigm | Fortran is primarily a procedural programming language, with support for object-oriented programming in newer versions. | Racket is a multi-paradigm language, supporting functional, imperative, and object-oriented programming. |
Typing | Fortran has static typing, with the ability to explicitly declare variable types. | Racket has dynamic typing, allowing variables to hold values of any type. |
Performance | Fortran is known for its high performance in numerical computations, especially for scientific and engineering applications. | Racket is a general-purpose language and may not have the same level of performance as Fortran in numerical computations. |
Libraries and frameworks | Fortran has a wide range of libraries and frameworks available for scientific and engineering applications. | Racket has a rich ecosystem of libraries and frameworks, with a focus on language-oriented programming. |
Community and support | Fortran has a dedicated community and good support for scientific and engineering applications. | Racket has an active community and good support, especially for language-oriented programming. |
Learning curve | Fortran has a relatively steep learning curve, especially for beginners without prior programming experience. | Racket has a moderate learning curve, with a focus on teaching programming concepts and language design. |
