How to use this tool?
This free online converter lets you convert code from Matlab to Scheme 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 Scheme code from the conversion will be displayed in the output box.
Examples
The following are examples of code conversion from Matlab to Scheme 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
Scheme
Example 2 - Even or Odd
A well commented function to check if a number if odd or even.
Matlab
Scheme
Key differences between Matlab and Scheme
Characteristic | Matlab | Scheme |
---|---|---|
Syntax | Matlab uses a syntax that is similar to traditional programming languages, with a focus on matrix operations and numerical computations. | Scheme has a simple and minimalist syntax, with a strong emphasis on functional programming and the use of parentheses for expressions. |
Paradigm | Matlab is primarily a procedural language with support for object-oriented programming. | Scheme is a functional programming language that supports procedural and object-oriented programming through the use of macros. |
Typing | Matlab is dynamically typed, meaning that variable types are determined at runtime. | Scheme is dynamically typed, allowing for flexible and dynamic programming. |
Performance | Matlab is optimized for numerical computations and has built-in support for matrix operations, making it efficient for scientific and engineering applications. | Scheme is an interpreted language and may not be as performant as compiled languages for certain tasks. |
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. | Scheme has a smaller ecosystem of libraries and frameworks compared to Matlab, but it can leverage libraries from other Lisp dialects. |
Community and support | Matlab has a large and active community with extensive documentation and support resources. | Scheme has a smaller community compared to Matlab, but there are still active forums and resources available. |
Learning curve | Matlab has a relatively low learning curve, especially for users familiar with traditional programming languages. | Scheme has a steeper learning curve, particularly for users who are new to functional programming or Lisp-like languages. |
