How to use this tool?

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

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

Examples

The following are examples of code conversion from C to Lua 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.

Lua

Example 2 - Even or Odd

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

Lua

Key differences between C and Lua

Characteristic	C	Lua
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.	Lua has a simple and flexible syntax that is easy to learn. It uses keywords like 'if' and 'while' to define control structures and does not require semicolons to end statements.
Paradigm	C is a procedural programming language that focuses on writing functions that perform specific tasks.	Lua is a multi-paradigm language that supports procedural, functional, and object-oriented programming styles.
Typing	C is a statically typed language, which means that variable types must be declared before they are used.	Lua is a dynamically typed language, which means that variable types are determined at runtime.
Performance	C is a high-performance language that is often used for system-level programming and other tasks that require speed and efficiency.	Lua is a lightweight language that is designed for embedded systems and other environments where memory and processing power are limited.
Libraries and frameworks	C has a large number of libraries and frameworks available for a wide range of tasks, including system-level programming, graphics, and networking.	Lua has a smaller set of libraries and frameworks available, but they are often designed to be lightweight and efficient.
Community and support	C has a large and active community of developers, with many resources available for learning and troubleshooting.	Lua has a smaller but dedicated community of developers, with resources available through the Lua website and other online forums.
Learning curve	C has a steep learning curve, with a complex syntax and a focus on low-level programming concepts.	Lua has a relatively easy learning curve, with a simple syntax and a focus on high-level programming concepts.
