This free online converter lets you convert code from Lua to C++ in a click of a button. To use this converter, take the following steps -

  1. Type or paste your Lua code in the input box.
  2. Click the convert button.
  3. The resulting C++ code from the conversion will be displayed in the output box.

Examples

The following are examples of code conversion from Lua 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 Lua and C++

CharacteristicLuaC++
SyntaxLua has a simple and flexible syntax that is easy to learn and use.C++ has a complex syntax that can be difficult to learn and use, especially for beginners.
ParadigmLua is a multi-paradigm language that supports procedural, functional, and object-oriented programming.C++ is a multi-paradigm language that supports procedural, functional, and object-oriented programming, as well as generic programming.
TypingLua is dynamically typed, which means that variable types are determined at runtime.C++ is statically typed, which means that variable types are determined at compile time.
PerformanceLua is generally faster than many other scripting languages, but slower than compiled languages like C++.C++ is a compiled language that is generally faster than interpreted languages like Lua.
Libraries and frameworksLua has a smaller standard library than C++, but there are many third-party libraries and frameworks available.C++ has a large standard library and many third-party libraries and frameworks available.
Community and supportLua has a smaller community and less support than C++.C++ has a large community and a lot of support, including many online resources and forums.
Learning curveLua has a relatively low learning curve, especially for those with programming experience.C++ has a steep learning curve, especially for beginners or those without programming experience.
