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

Matlab
Example 2 - Even or Odd
A well commented function to check if a number if odd or even.

Key differences between R and Matlab
Characteristic | R | Matlab |
---|---|---|
Syntax | R has a syntax that is similar to the S programming language, with a focus on data analysis and visualization. | Matlab has a syntax that is similar to traditional programming languages, with a focus on numerical computation and scientific computing. |
Paradigm | R is a functional programming language that supports object-oriented programming and procedural programming. | Matlab is a procedural programming language that supports some object-oriented programming concepts. |
Typing | R is dynamically typed, meaning that variable types are determined at runtime. | Matlab is dynamically typed, meaning that variable types are determined at runtime. |
Performance | R can be slower than Matlab for certain types of computations, but it has improved significantly in recent years. | Matlab is known for its fast performance and is often used for computationally intensive tasks. |
Libraries and frameworks | R has a large number of libraries and frameworks for data analysis, statistics, and machine learning. | Matlab has a large number of libraries and toolboxes for numerical computation, scientific computing, and data analysis. |
Community and support | R has a large and active community of users and developers, with many online resources and forums for support. | Matlab has a large and active community of users and developers, with many online resources and forums for support. |
Learning curve | R has a steep learning curve for beginners, especially those without a background in programming or statistics. | Matlab has a relatively easy learning curve, especially for those with a background in programming or engineering. |
