This free online converter lets you convert code from R to Scala 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 Scala code from the conversion will be displayed in the output box.
Examples
The following are examples of code conversion from R to Scala 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 Scala
Characteristic | R | Scala |
---|---|---|
Syntax | R has a syntax that is similar to the English language, making it easy to learn and read. | Scala has a syntax that is more complex than R, but it is still relatively easy to learn and read. |
Paradigm | R is a functional programming language that is primarily used for statistical computing and graphics. | Scala is a multi-paradigm language that supports both functional and object-oriented programming. |
Typing | R is dynamically typed, meaning that variable types are determined at runtime. | Scala is statically typed, meaning that variable types are determined at compile time. |
Performance | R is not known for its performance, especially when dealing with large datasets. | Scala is known for its performance, especially when dealing with large datasets. |
Libraries and frameworks | R has a large number of libraries and frameworks for statistical computing and graphics, such as ggplot2 and dplyr. | Scala has a growing number of libraries and frameworks, including popular ones like Akka and Spark. |
Community and support | R has a large and active community, with many resources available for learning and troubleshooting. | Scala has a smaller community than R, but it is still active and growing, with resources available for learning and troubleshooting. |
Learning curve | R has a relatively steep learning curve, especially for those without a background in programming or statistics. | Scala has a steeper learning curve than R, especially for those without a background in programming. |
