This free online converter lets you convert code from Groovy to C in a click of a button. To use this converter, take the following steps -
- Type or paste your Groovy code in the input box.
- Click the convert button.
- The resulting C code from the conversion will be displayed in the output box.
Examples
The following are examples of code conversion from Groovy to C 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.

Key differences between Groovy and C
Characteristic | Groovy | C |
---|---|---|
Syntax | Groovy has a syntax similar to Java with additional features like closures and dynamic typing. | C has a syntax that is more low-level and requires manual memory management. |
Paradigm | Groovy is a dynamically-typed, object-oriented language that supports both procedural and functional programming paradigms. | C is a statically-typed, procedural language. |
Typing | Groovy is dynamically-typed, meaning variable types are determined at runtime. | C is statically-typed, meaning variable types are determined at compile-time. |
Performance | Groovy is generally slower than C due to its dynamic nature and runtime type checking. | C is a low-level language that is known for its performance and efficiency. |
Libraries and frameworks | Groovy has access to a wide range of Java libraries and frameworks. | C has a smaller ecosystem of libraries and frameworks compared to Groovy. |
Community and support | Groovy has an active community and good support from the Apache Software Foundation. | C has a large and established community with extensive documentation and support. |
Learning curve | Groovy has a relatively low learning curve, especially for developers familiar with Java. | C has a steeper learning curve, especially for developers new to low-level programming. |
