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 -

  1. Type or paste your Objective_C code in the input box.
  2. Click the convert button.
  3. 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.

Key differences between Objective_C and COBOL

CharacteristicObjective_CCOBOL
SyntaxObjective-C uses a syntax similar to C with added features for object-oriented programming.COBOL uses a verbose and English-like syntax.
ParadigmObjective-C supports both procedural and object-oriented programming paradigms.COBOL is primarily a procedural programming language.
TypingObjective-C is a statically typed language.COBOL is a statically typed language.
PerformanceObjective-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 frameworksObjective-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 supportObjective-C has a large and active community with good support.COBOL has a smaller community and limited support compared to more modern languages.
Learning curveObjective-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.
