This free online converter lets you convert code from SAS to Racket in a click of a button. To use this converter, take the following steps -

  1. Type or paste your SAS code in the input box.
  2. Click the convert button.
  3. The resulting Racket code from the conversion will be displayed in the output box.

Examples

The following are examples of code conversion from SAS to Racket 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.

Key differences between SAS and Racket

CharacteristicSASRacket
SyntaxSAS uses a data step and a proc step to process data. It has a verbose syntax with a focus on data manipulation and analysis.Racket has a Lisp-like syntax with a focus on functional programming. It uses parentheses extensively for code organization.
ParadigmSAS is primarily a procedural language with support for some object-oriented programming concepts.Racket is a multi-paradigm language that supports functional programming, procedural programming, and object-oriented programming.
TypingSAS is a statically typed language.Racket is a dynamically typed language.
PerformanceSAS is known for its high-performance data processing capabilities.Racket is not typically used for high-performance computing tasks.
Libraries and frameworksSAS has a wide range of libraries and frameworks for data analysis, statistical modeling, and machine learning.Racket has a smaller ecosystem of libraries and frameworks compared to SAS, but it has a strong focus on language extensibility.
Community and supportSAS has a large and established community with extensive documentation and support resources.Racket has a smaller community compared to SAS, but it has an active and supportive community with online forums and documentation.
Learning curveSAS has a steep learning curve due to its complex syntax and extensive feature set.Racket has a moderate learning curve, especially for programmers familiar with Lisp-like languages.
