Examples
The following are examples of code conversion from C to Fortran 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.
C
Fortran
Example 2 - Even or Odd
A well commented function to check if a number if odd or even.

Key differences between C and Fortran
| Characteristic | C | Fortran |
|---|---|---|
| Syntax | C has a syntax that is similar to other programming languages like Java and C++. It uses curly braces to define blocks of code and semicolons to end statements. | Fortran has a syntax that is more similar to mathematical notation. It uses keywords like 'DO' and 'END DO' to define loops and has a more verbose syntax for array operations. |
| Paradigm | C is a procedural programming language, which means that it focuses on defining procedures or functions that perform specific tasks. | Fortran is a procedural programming language, but it also has support for object-oriented programming through the Fortran 2003 standard. |
| Typing | C is a statically typed language, which means that variable types are defined at compile time and cannot be changed during runtime. | Fortran is a statically typed language, but it also has support for dynamic memory allocation through the 'ALLOCATABLE' keyword. |
| Performance | C is known for its high performance and is often used for systems programming and embedded systems. | Fortran is also known for its high performance, especially in scientific computing and numerical analysis. |
| Libraries and frameworks | C has a large number of libraries and frameworks available, including the standard C library and popular frameworks like GTK+ and Qt. | Fortran has a smaller number of libraries and frameworks available, but it does have support for the BLAS and LAPACK libraries for numerical analysis. |
| Community and support | C has a large and active community, with many resources available for learning and support. | Fortran also has a dedicated community, especially in the scientific computing and numerical analysis fields. |
| Learning curve | C has a steep learning curve, especially for beginners who are not familiar with low-level programming concepts. | Fortran also has a steep learning curve, especially for beginners who are not familiar with scientific computing and numerical analysis concepts. |
