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

Key differences between Fortran and Scheme
Characteristic | Fortran | Scheme |
---|---|---|
Syntax | Fortran has a fixed-format syntax with strict column-based rules. | Scheme has a flexible and minimalistic syntax with parentheses for function calls and expressions. |
Paradigm | Fortran is primarily a procedural programming language with support for object-oriented programming. | Scheme is a functional programming language with support for procedural programming. |
Typing | Fortran has static typing with optional type declarations. | Scheme has dynamic typing where variables are not explicitly declared with types. |
Performance | Fortran is known for its high performance in scientific and numerical computing. | Scheme is not typically used for performance-critical applications. |
Libraries and frameworks | Fortran has a wide range of libraries and frameworks for scientific and numerical computing. | Scheme 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. | Scheme has a smaller community and less support compared to Fortran. |
Learning curve | Fortran has a moderate learning curve, especially for beginners. | Scheme has a steep learning curve, especially for beginners. |
