How to use this tool?

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

  1. Type or paste your Matlab 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 Matlab 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.

Example 1 - Is String Palindrome

Program that checks if a string is a palindrome or not.

Key differences between Matlab and C

CharacteristicMatlabC
SyntaxMatlab uses a syntax that is similar to traditional programming languages, but with a focus on mathematical operations and matrix manipulation.C uses a syntax that is more complex than Matlab, but it is also more flexible and allows for low-level memory manipulation.
ParadigmMatlab is primarily a procedural language, but it also supports object-oriented programming.C is a procedural language that does not support object-oriented programming natively, but it can be implemented using libraries.
TypingMatlab 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.
PerformanceMatlab is optimized for numerical computations and has built-in support for matrix operations, making it faster than C for certain tasks.C is a low-level language that allows for fine-grained control over memory and hardware, making it faster than Matlab for certain tasks.
Libraries and frameworksMatlab has a large library of built-in functions and toolboxes for various applications, including signal processing, image processing, and control systems.C has a smaller standard library than Matlab, but it has a large number of third-party libraries and frameworks available for various applications.
Community and supportMatlab has a large and active community of users and developers, and MathWorks provides extensive documentation and support.C has a large and established community of users and developers, and there are many online resources and forums available for support.
Learning curveMatlab has a relatively low learning curve, especially for users with a background in mathematics or engineering.C has a steep learning curve, especially for users without a background in computer science or programming.
