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

Key differences between OCaml and R
Characteristic | OCaml | R |
---|---|---|
Syntax | OCaml has a syntax that is similar to other functional programming languages, with a strong emphasis on pattern matching and immutability. | R has a syntax that is primarily focused on statistical analysis and data manipulation, with a large number of built-in functions and operators. |
Paradigm | OCaml is a multi-paradigm language that supports both functional and imperative programming. | R is primarily a functional programming language, but it also supports procedural and object-oriented programming. |
Typing | OCaml has a strong static type system that helps catch errors at compile-time. | R has a dynamic type system that allows for more flexibility but can lead to runtime errors. |
Performance | OCaml is known for its high performance and efficient execution. | R is not as performant as OCaml, especially for computationally intensive tasks. |
Libraries and frameworks | OCaml has a smaller ecosystem of libraries and frameworks compared to R, but it still has a decent collection for various domains. | R has a vast collection of libraries and frameworks specifically designed for statistical analysis, data visualization, and machine learning. |
Community and support | OCaml has a smaller community compared to R, but it has dedicated users and active development. | R has a large and active community with extensive support and resources available. |
Learning curve | OCaml has a steeper learning curve due to its functional programming concepts and syntax. | R has a relatively lower learning curve, especially for users with a background in statistics and data analysis. |
