How to use this tool?

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

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

Examples

The following are examples of code conversion from C to Lisp 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

right arrow

Lisp

Example 2 - Even or Odd

A well commented function to check if a number if odd or even.

C

right arrow

Lisp

Key differences between C and Lisp

CharacteristicCLisp
SyntaxC 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.Lisp has a unique syntax that uses parentheses to define expressions and lists. It is a functional programming language that emphasizes the use of recursion and higher-order functions.
ParadigmC is a procedural programming language that emphasizes step-by-step instructions and the use of functions to organize code.Lisp is a functional programming language that emphasizes the use of functions and expressions to manipulate data.
TypingC is a statically typed language, which means that variable types must be declared before use.Lisp is a dynamically typed language, which means that variable types are determined at runtime.
PerformanceC is a high-performance language that is often used for system-level programming and embedded systems.Lisp is not known for its performance, but it is often used for symbolic processing and artificial intelligence applications.
Libraries and frameworksC has a large number of libraries and frameworks available for various purposes, including system-level programming, graphics, and networking.Lisp has a smaller number of libraries and frameworks available, but it has a strong tradition of open-source development and community support.
Community and supportC has a large and active community of developers, with many resources available for learning and troubleshooting.Lisp has a smaller but dedicated community of developers, with a strong tradition of open-source development and collaboration.
Learning curveC has a steep learning curve, particularly for beginners who are not familiar with low-level programming concepts.Lisp has a steep learning curve due to its unique syntax and functional programming paradigm, but it can be a powerful tool for certain types of applications.
