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 -
- Type or paste your Matlab 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 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.
Matlab
C
Example 2 - Even or Odd
A well commented function to check if a number if odd or even.

C
Key differences between Matlab and C
Characteristic | Matlab | C |
---|---|---|
Syntax | Matlab 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. |
Paradigm | Matlab 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. |
Typing | Matlab 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. |
Performance | Matlab 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 frameworks | Matlab 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 support | Matlab 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 curve | Matlab 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. |
