- Click the convert button.
- The resulting ActionScript code from the conversion will be displayed in the output box.
Examples
The following are examples of code conversion from SAS to ActionScript 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 SAS and ActionScript
Characteristic | SAS | ActionScript |
---|---|---|
Syntax | SAS uses a data step and a proc step to process data. The data step is used to read, manipulate, and output data, while the proc step is used to perform analysis and generate reports. | ActionScript is a scripting language that is similar to JavaScript and uses C-style syntax. It is used primarily for creating interactive applications and animations in Adobe Flash. |
Paradigm | SAS is primarily a procedural programming language, but it also supports some object-oriented programming concepts. | ActionScript is an object-oriented programming language that supports inheritance, encapsulation, and polymorphism. |
Typing | SAS is a statically typed language, which means that variable types are determined at compile time. | ActionScript is a dynamically typed language, which means that variable types are determined at runtime. |
Performance | SAS is known for its high performance and is often used for large-scale data processing and analysis. | ActionScript is not known for its performance and is primarily used for creating interactive applications and animations. |
Libraries and frameworks | SAS has a wide range of libraries and frameworks for data processing, analysis, and visualization, including SAS/STAT, SAS/GRAPH, and SAS/ETS. | ActionScript has a limited number of libraries and frameworks, primarily focused on creating interactive applications and animations in Adobe Flash. |
Community and support | SAS has a large and active community of users and developers, with a wide range of resources and support available. | ActionScript has a smaller community of users and developers, with fewer resources and support available. |
Learning curve | SAS has a steep learning curve and can be difficult to learn for beginners, but it is a powerful tool for data processing and analysis. | ActionScript has a relatively low learning curve and is easy to learn for beginners, especially those with experience in other programming languages. |
