How to use this tool?

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

Examples

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

CharacteristicMatlabOCaml
SyntaxMatlab uses a syntax that is similar to traditional programming languages, with a focus on matrix operations and numerical computations.OCaml has a syntax that is more similar to functional programming languages, with a strong emphasis on type inference and pattern matching.
ParadigmMatlab is primarily a procedural programming language, but it also supports some object-oriented programming features.OCaml is a multi-paradigm language that supports functional, imperative, and object-oriented programming.
TypingMatlab is dynamically typed, meaning that variable types are determined at runtime.OCaml is statically typed, meaning that variable types are checked at compile-time.
PerformanceMatlab is optimized for numerical computations and has good performance for these tasks.OCaml is a general-purpose language with good performance, but it may not be as optimized for numerical computations as Matlab.
Libraries and frameworksMatlab has a wide range of libraries and toolboxes available for various scientific and engineering applications.OCaml has a smaller ecosystem of libraries compared to Matlab, but it still has libraries for common tasks and can interface with C libraries.
Community and supportMatlab has a large and active community with extensive documentation and support resources.OCaml has a smaller community compared to Matlab, but it still has active forums, mailing lists, and online resources for support.
Learning curveMatlab has a relatively low learning curve, especially for users with a background in numerical computing.OCaml has a steeper learning curve, especially for users who are new to functional programming concepts.
