How to use this tool?

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

Examples

The following are examples of code conversion from Matlab to R 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.

Key differences between Matlab and R

CharacteristicMatlabR
SyntaxMatlab uses a syntax that is similar to traditional programming languages, with a focus on matrix operations and numerical computations.R uses a syntax that is focused on statistical analysis and data manipulation, with a wide range of functions and operators for these tasks.
ParadigmMatlab is primarily a procedural language, but it also supports object-oriented programming.R is a functional programming language, but it also supports procedural and object-oriented programming.
TypingMatlab is dynamically typed, meaning that variable types are determined at runtime.R is dynamically typed, meaning that variable types are determined at runtime.
PerformanceMatlab is known for its high performance in numerical computations and matrix operations.R can be slower than Matlab in numerical computations and matrix operations, but it has many packages that can improve performance.
Libraries and frameworksMatlab has a large number of built-in functions and toolboxes for various applications, but it may require additional toolboxes for some tasks.R has a vast library of packages for various applications, including statistical analysis, data visualization, and machine learning.
Community and supportMatlab has a large and active community, with many resources available for learning and troubleshooting.R has a large and active community, with many resources available for learning and troubleshooting.
Learning curveMatlab has a relatively steep learning curve, especially for those without a background in programming or numerical analysis.R has a moderate learning curve, with a focus on statistical analysis and data manipulation.
