How to use this tool?
This free online converter lets you convert code from OCaml to C in a click of a button. To use this converter, take the following steps -
- Type or paste your OCaml code in the input box.
- Click the convert button.
- The resulting C code from the conversion will be displayed in the output box.
Examples
The following are examples of code conversion from OCaml to C 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.

Key differences between OCaml and C
Characteristic | OCaml | C |
---|---|---|
Syntax | OCaml has a functional programming syntax with strong static typing and type inference. It also supports imperative and object-oriented programming. | C has a procedural programming syntax with weak static typing. It does not support functional or object-oriented programming. |
Paradigm | OCaml supports functional, imperative, and object-oriented programming paradigms. | C supports procedural programming paradigm. |
Typing | OCaml has strong static typing with type inference. | C has weak static typing. |
Performance | OCaml is known for its high performance and efficient memory management. | C is also known for its high performance and efficient memory management. |
Libraries and frameworks | OCaml has a rich set of libraries and frameworks available for various purposes. | C has a wide range of libraries and frameworks available, but not as extensive as OCaml. |
Community and support | OCaml has an active community and good support from the community and the official maintainers. | C has a large community and good support, but not as active as OCaml. |
Learning curve | OCaml has a moderate learning curve, especially for programmers familiar with functional programming concepts. | C has a relatively low learning curve, especially for programmers familiar with procedural programming. |
