How to use this tool?
This free online converter lets you convert code from Racket to Fortran in a click of a button. To use this converter, take the following steps -
- Type or paste your Racket 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 Racket 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.

Key differences between Racket and Fortran
Characteristic | Racket | Fortran |
---|---|---|
Syntax | Racket has a Lisp-like syntax with prefix notation and parentheses for function calls and expressions. | Fortran has a more traditional syntax with a fixed-format layout and uses keywords and operators for expressions. |
Paradigm | Racket supports multiple paradigms including functional programming, object-oriented programming, and logic programming. | Fortran is primarily a procedural programming language with support for some object-oriented features. |
Typing | Racket is dynamically typed, meaning that variable types are determined at runtime. | Fortran is statically typed, meaning that variable types are determined at compile-time. |
Performance | Racket is a high-level language that prioritizes expressiveness over performance. | Fortran is a low-level language that prioritizes performance and efficiency. |
Libraries and frameworks | Racket has a rich set of libraries and frameworks for various purposes, including web development, GUI programming, and data analysis. | Fortran has a limited number of libraries and frameworks compared to Racket, with a focus on scientific and numerical computing. |
Community and support | Racket has a smaller but active community with good support from the developers and users. | Fortran has a large and established community with extensive support and resources available. |
Learning curve | Racket has a moderate learning curve, especially for beginners due to its unique syntax and functional programming concepts. | Fortran has a relatively steep learning curve, especially for programmers without prior experience in low-level languages. |
