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

Key differences between OCaml and Fortran
Characteristic | OCaml | Fortran |
---|---|---|
Syntax | OCaml has a syntax that is similar to other functional programming languages, with a strong emphasis on pattern matching and immutability. | Fortran has a syntax that is more similar to traditional imperative programming languages, with a focus on mathematical computations and array operations. |
Paradigm | OCaml is a multi-paradigm language that supports functional, imperative, and object-oriented programming. | Fortran is primarily an imperative programming language, with limited support for functional and object-oriented programming. |
Typing | OCaml has a strong static type system that helps catch errors at compile-time. | Fortran has a static type system, but it is not as strong as OCaml's and allows for more flexibility. |
Performance | OCaml is known for its efficient performance, especially in terms of execution speed and memory usage. | Fortran is also known for its high performance, particularly in scientific and numerical computations. |
Libraries and frameworks | OCaml has a growing ecosystem of libraries and frameworks, although it may not have as many options as more popular languages. | Fortran has a wide range of libraries and frameworks available, particularly for scientific and engineering applications. |
Community and support | OCaml has a smaller but dedicated community, with active support from the OCaml Software Foundation and other organizations. | Fortran has a long-standing community, especially in the scientific and engineering fields, with good support from various resources. |
Learning curve | OCaml has a moderate learning curve, especially for programmers familiar with functional programming concepts. | Fortran has a relatively steep learning curve, particularly for programmers without prior experience in scientific or numerical computing. |
