How to use this tool?
This free online converter lets you convert code from TypeScript to R in a click of a button. To use this converter, take the following steps -
- Type or paste your TypeScript 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 TypeScript 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.

Key differences between TypeScript and R
Characteristic | TypeScript | R |
---|---|---|
Syntax | TypeScript is a superset of JavaScript, so its syntax is very similar to JavaScript with some additional features like type annotations, interfaces, and classes. | R has a syntax that is specifically designed for statistical computing and graphics. It has a functional programming style with a focus on data manipulation and analysis. |
Paradigm | TypeScript is an object-oriented programming language that supports both procedural and functional programming paradigms. | R is a functional programming language that supports object-oriented programming through the use of S3 and S4 classes. |
Typing | TypeScript is a statically typed language, which means that types are checked at compile-time. It also supports type inference. | R is a dynamically typed language, which means that types are checked at runtime. It does not support type inference. |
Performance | TypeScript is generally faster than JavaScript because it is compiled to JavaScript and can take advantage of JavaScript engines' optimizations. | R is not known for its performance, especially when dealing with large datasets. However, there are packages like data.table that can improve performance. |
Libraries and frameworks | TypeScript has access to all the libraries and frameworks available in JavaScript, including popular ones like React, Angular, and Vue. | R has a vast collection of packages for data manipulation, analysis, and visualization, including popular ones like ggplot2, dplyr, and tidyr. |
Community and support | TypeScript has a growing community and is backed by Microsoft, which provides excellent documentation and support. | R has a large and active community, with many packages and resources available. It is also supported by the R Foundation. |
Learning curve | TypeScript has a moderate learning curve, especially if you are already familiar with JavaScript. Learning how to use types and interfaces can take some time. | R has a steep learning curve, especially if you are not familiar with programming concepts like functional programming and data manipulation. However, there are many resources available to help you learn. |
