How to use this tool?
This free online converter lets you convert code from R to Racket 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 Racket code from the conversion will be displayed in the output box.
Examples
The following are examples of code conversion from R to Racket 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 R and Racket
Characteristic | R | Racket |
---|---|---|
Syntax | R uses a syntax that is similar to traditional programming languages, with a focus on statistical analysis and data manipulation. | Racket has a unique syntax that is based on Lisp, with a focus on functional programming and metaprogramming. |
Paradigm | R is primarily a functional programming language, but it also supports imperative and object-oriented programming paradigms. | Racket is a multi-paradigm programming language that supports functional, imperative, and object-oriented programming. |
Typing | R is dynamically typed, which means that variable types are determined at runtime. | Racket is also dynamically typed, allowing for flexible and dynamic programming. |
Performance | R is known for its slower performance compared to other programming languages, especially for large-scale computations. | Racket is designed for general-purpose programming and can achieve good performance, especially when using its optimizing compiler. |
Libraries and frameworks | R has a wide range of libraries and frameworks for statistical analysis, data manipulation, and visualization. | Racket has a growing ecosystem of libraries and frameworks, with a focus on language-oriented programming and metaprogramming. |
Community and support | R has a large and active community of users and developers, with extensive online resources and support. | Racket has a smaller but dedicated community, with active development and support from the Racket team. |
Learning curve | R has a moderate learning curve, especially for users with a background in statistics or data analysis. | Racket has a moderate learning curve, especially for users new to functional programming or Lisp-like syntax. |
