How to use this tool?

This free online converter lets you convert code from Matlab to JavaScript 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 JavaScript code from the conversion will be displayed in the output box.

Examples

The following are examples of code conversion from Matlab to JavaScript 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 JavaScript

CharacteristicMatlabJavaScript
SyntaxMatlab uses a syntax that is similar to traditional programming languages, with a focus on matrix operations and mathematical functions.JavaScript uses a syntax that is similar to C-style languages, with a focus on object-oriented programming and event-driven programming.
ParadigmMatlab is primarily a procedural programming language, but it also supports object-oriented programming.JavaScript is a multi-paradigm language that supports object-oriented, functional, and imperative programming.
TypingMatlab is dynamically typed, meaning that variable types are determined at runtime.JavaScript is dynamically typed, meaning that variable types are determined at runtime.
PerformanceMatlab is optimized for numerical computations and has good performance for these types of operations.JavaScript is not optimized for numerical computations and may have slower performance for these types of operations.
Libraries and frameworksMatlab has a large library of built-in functions and toolboxes for various applications, including signal processing, image processing, and control systems.JavaScript has a large ecosystem of libraries and frameworks for various applications, including web development, data visualization, and machine learning.
Community and supportMatlab has a smaller community compared to other programming languages, but it has strong support from MathWorks, the company that develops Matlab.JavaScript has a large and active community with many resources and support available online.
Learning curveMatlab has a relatively steep learning curve due to its focus on mathematical operations and syntax.JavaScript has a moderate learning curve, with a syntax that is easy to learn but more complex concepts for advanced programming.
