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

Key differences between Matlab and Tcl
Characteristic | Matlab | Tcl |
---|---|---|
Syntax | Matlab uses a syntax that is similar to traditional programming languages, with a focus on matrix operations and mathematical computations. | Tcl uses a simple and flexible syntax that is based on commands and arguments, making it easy to learn and use. |
Paradigm | Matlab is primarily a procedural programming language with support for object-oriented programming. | Tcl is a multi-paradigm language that supports procedural, object-oriented, and functional programming. |
Typing | Matlab is dynamically typed, meaning that variable types are determined at runtime. | Tcl is dynamically typed, allowing variables to hold values of any type. |
Performance | Matlab is known for its high-performance numerical computations and optimized linear algebra operations. | Tcl is generally slower than Matlab for numerical computations, but it excels in other areas such as text processing and scripting. |
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. | Tcl has a smaller set of libraries and frameworks compared to Matlab, but it can leverage external libraries through extensions and packages. |
Community and support | Matlab has a large and active community with extensive documentation, online forums, and official support from MathWorks. | Tcl has a smaller community compared to Matlab, but it still has active forums and online resources for support. |
Learning curve | Matlab has a moderate learning curve, especially for users with a background in mathematics or engineering. | Tcl has a relatively low learning curve, making it accessible to beginners and experienced programmers alike. |
