How to use this tool?
This free online converter lets you convert code from Matlab to Erlang 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 Erlang code from the conversion will be displayed in the output box.
Examples
The following are examples of code conversion from Matlab to Erlang 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
Erlang
Example 2 - Even or Odd
A well commented function to check if a number if odd or even.
Matlab
Erlang
Key differences between Matlab and Erlang
Characteristic | Matlab | Erlang |
---|---|---|
Syntax | Matlab uses a syntax similar to traditional programming languages with a focus on mathematical operations and matrix manipulation. | Erlang has a unique syntax that is based on functional programming principles and pattern matching. |
Paradigm | Matlab is primarily a procedural programming language with support for object-oriented programming. | Erlang is a functional programming language that is designed for building concurrent and distributed systems. |
Typing | Matlab is dynamically typed, meaning that variable types are determined at runtime. | Erlang is dynamically typed, similar to Matlab. |
Performance | Matlab is optimized for numerical computations and has good performance for mathematical operations. | Erlang is designed for high concurrency and fault-tolerance, but may not have the same performance as Matlab for numerical computations. |
Libraries and frameworks | Matlab has a wide range of built-in libraries and toolboxes for various domains such as signal processing, image processing, and control systems. | Erlang has a smaller ecosystem of libraries and frameworks compared to Matlab, but it has libraries for building distributed systems and concurrent applications. |
Community and support | Matlab has a large community of users and extensive documentation and support resources. | Erlang has a smaller but dedicated community with good support from the language creators and active online forums. |
Learning curve | Matlab has a relatively low learning curve, especially for users with a background in mathematics or engineering. | Erlang has a steeper learning curve due to its unique syntax and functional programming concepts, but it can be rewarding for building concurrent and distributed systems. |
