How to use this tool?
This free online converter lets you convert code from Objective_C to COBOL in a click of a button. To use this converter, take the following steps -
- Type or paste your Objective_C code in the input box.
- Click the convert button.
- The resulting COBOL code from the conversion will be displayed in the output box.
Examples
The following are examples of code conversion from Objective_C to COBOL 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.
Objective_C
COBOL
Example 2 - Even or Odd
A well commented function to check if a number if odd or even.
Objective_C
COBOL
Key differences between Objective_C and COBOL
Characteristic | Objective_C | COBOL |
---|---|---|
Syntax | Objective-C uses a syntax similar to C with added features for object-oriented programming. | COBOL uses a verbose and English-like syntax. |
Paradigm | Objective-C supports both procedural and object-oriented programming paradigms. | COBOL is primarily a procedural programming language. |
Typing | Objective-C is a statically typed language. | COBOL is a statically typed language. |
Performance | Objective-C has good performance and is often used for iOS and macOS development. | COBOL is not known for its performance and is typically used for legacy systems. |
Libraries and frameworks | Objective-C has a wide range of libraries and frameworks available, especially for iOS and macOS development. | COBOL has limited libraries and frameworks available, mostly focused on mainframe systems. |
Community and support | Objective-C has a large and active community with good support. | COBOL has a smaller community and limited support compared to more modern languages. |
Learning curve | Objective-C has a moderate learning curve, especially for developers familiar with C. | COBOL has a steep learning curve, especially for developers without prior experience in mainframe systems. |
