How to use this tool?
This free online converter lets you convert code from Matlab to Racket 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 Racket code from the conversion will be displayed in the output box.
Examples
The following are examples of code conversion from Matlab to Racket 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
Racket
Example 2 - Even or Odd
A well commented function to check if a number if odd or even.

Key differences between Matlab and Racket
Characteristic | Matlab | Racket |
---|---|---|
Syntax | Matlab uses a syntax that is similar to traditional programming languages, with a focus on matrix operations and numerical computations. | Racket has a flexible syntax that allows for different programming paradigms, including functional and object-oriented programming. |
Paradigm | Matlab is primarily a procedural programming language, but it also supports some elements of functional programming. | Racket is a multi-paradigm programming language that supports functional, imperative, and object-oriented programming. |
Typing | Matlab is dynamically typed, meaning that variable types are determined at runtime. | Racket is also dynamically typed, allowing for flexible and dynamic programming. |
Performance | Matlab is known for its high-performance numerical computations and matrix operations. | Racket is a general-purpose programming language and may not have the same level of performance as Matlab for numerical computations. |
Libraries and frameworks | Matlab has a wide range of built-in libraries and toolboxes for various scientific and engineering applications. | Racket has a growing ecosystem of libraries and frameworks, but it may not have the same breadth and depth as Matlab. |
Community and support | Matlab has a large and active community of users, with extensive documentation and support resources. | Racket has a smaller community compared to Matlab, but it is known for its helpful and supportive community. |
Learning curve | Matlab has a relatively low learning curve, especially for users with a background in numerical computing. | Racket may have a steeper learning curve, especially for users who are new to functional programming. |
