How to use this tool?
This free online converter lets you convert code from SAS to C++ in a click of a button. To use this converter, take the following steps -
- Type or paste your SAS code in the input box.
- Click the convert button.
- The resulting C++ code from the conversion will be displayed in the output box.
Examples
The following are examples of code conversion from SAS to C++ 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.
SAS
C++
Example 2 - Even or Odd
A well commented function to check if a number if odd or even.

Key differences between SAS and C++
Characteristic | SAS | C++ |
---|---|---|
Syntax | SAS uses a data step and a proc step to read, manipulate, and analyze data. The syntax is verbose and requires a lot of typing. | C++ has a concise syntax that allows for more efficient coding. It uses semicolons to end statements and curly braces to define code blocks. |
Paradigm | SAS is primarily a procedural language, but it also supports some object-oriented programming concepts. | C++ is a multi-paradigm language that supports procedural, object-oriented, and generic programming. |
Typing | SAS is a dynamically typed language, meaning that variable types are determined at runtime. | C++ is a statically typed language, meaning that variable types are determined at compile time. |
Performance | SAS is optimized for data manipulation and analysis, making it a good choice for large datasets. | C++ is a high-performance language that can be used for a wide range of applications, including system programming and game development. |
Libraries and frameworks | SAS has a large number of built-in functions and libraries for data manipulation and analysis. | C++ has a wide range of libraries and frameworks for various applications, including Boost, Qt, and OpenGL. |
Community and support | SAS has a smaller community compared to other languages, but it has a dedicated user base and good support from SAS Institute. | C++ has a large and active community with many online resources and support forums. |
Learning curve | SAS has a steep learning curve due to its verbose syntax and complex data manipulation functions. | C++ has a steep learning curve due to its complex syntax and low-level programming concepts. |
