How to use this tool?
This free online converter lets you convert code from SAS to OCaml 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 OCaml code from the conversion will be displayed in the output box.
Examples
The following are examples of code conversion from SAS to OCaml 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

Example 2 - Even or Odd
A well commented function to check if a number if odd or even.

Key differences between SAS and OCaml
Characteristic | SAS | OCaml |
---|---|---|
Syntax | SAS uses a data step and a proc step to process data. It has a verbose syntax with a focus on data manipulation and analysis. | OCaml has a concise and expressive syntax with a focus on functional programming. It supports pattern matching and algebraic data types. |
Paradigm | SAS is primarily a procedural language with support for data manipulation and analysis. | OCaml is a multi-paradigm language that supports functional, imperative, and object-oriented programming. |
Typing | SAS has dynamic typing, where variable types are determined at runtime. | OCaml has static typing, where variable types are checked at compile-time. |
Performance | SAS is optimized for data manipulation and analysis, but it may not be as performant as low-level languages for other tasks. | OCaml is a compiled language that offers good performance and efficient memory management. |
Libraries and frameworks | SAS has a wide range of libraries and frameworks for data manipulation, statistical analysis, and machine learning. | OCaml has a smaller ecosystem of libraries and frameworks compared to SAS, but it offers libraries for various domains such as networking, parsing, and theorem proving. |
Community and support | SAS has a large and established community with extensive documentation and support. | OCaml has a smaller community compared to SAS, but it has an active community and good support through mailing lists and forums. |
Learning curve | SAS has a moderate learning curve, especially for data manipulation and analysis tasks. | OCaml has a steeper learning curve, especially for beginners, due to its functional programming concepts and static typing. |
