Click the convert button.
The resulting COBOL code from the conversion will be displayed in the output box.

Examples

The following are examples of code conversion from Groovy to COBOL 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 Groovy and COBOL

Characteristic	Groovy	COBOL
Syntax	Groovy has a syntax similar to Java with additional features like closures and dynamic typing.	COBOL has a verbose and English-like syntax with limited support for modern programming constructs.
Paradigm	Groovy is a multi-paradigm language that supports both object-oriented and functional programming.	COBOL is primarily a procedural programming language with limited support for object-oriented programming.
Typing	Groovy is dynamically typed, allowing for flexible and concise code.	COBOL is statically typed, requiring explicit declaration of data types.
Performance	Groovy is generally slower than compiled languages like COBOL due to its dynamic nature.	COBOL is known for its efficient and optimized performance, especially in batch processing.
Libraries and frameworks	Groovy has a wide range of libraries and frameworks available, including integration with Java libraries.	COBOL has limited libraries and frameworks compared to modern languages, with a focus on business applications.
Community and support	Groovy has an active and growing community with good support from the Groovy development team.	COBOL has a smaller and more specialized community with limited support from vendors and developers.
Learning curve	Groovy has a relatively low learning curve, especially for developers familiar with Java.	COBOL has a steep learning curve, especially for developers without prior experience in mainframe programming.
