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

Key differences between Swift and R
Characteristic | Swift | R |
---|---|---|
Syntax | Swift has a syntax similar to other C-based languages, making it easy for developers familiar with languages like C++, Objective-C, and Java to learn. | R has a syntax that is specifically designed for statistical computing and graphics. It has a unique syntax that may take some time for developers to get used to. |
Paradigm | Swift is a multi-paradigm language that supports both object-oriented programming and functional programming. | R is primarily a functional programming language, but it also supports procedural and object-oriented programming. |
Typing | Swift is a statically-typed language, which means that variable types are checked at compile-time. | R is a dynamically-typed language, which means that variable types are checked at runtime. |
Performance | Swift is known for its high performance and efficiency, making it suitable for building performance-critical applications. | R is not as performant as languages like Swift, especially when dealing with large datasets or complex computations. |
Libraries and frameworks | Swift has a growing ecosystem of libraries and frameworks, including popular ones like SwiftUI, Alamofire, and CoreData. | R has a vast collection of libraries and packages specifically designed for statistical computing and data analysis. |
Community and support | Swift has a large and active community of developers, with good documentation and support from Apple. | R also has a strong community of statisticians and data scientists, with extensive online resources and support. |
Learning curve | Swift has a relatively low learning curve, especially for developers already familiar with C-based languages. | R has a steeper learning curve, especially for developers without a background in statistical computing. |
