This free online converter lets you convert code from COBOL to PowerShell in a click of a button. To use this converter, take the following steps -
Characteristic | COBOL | PowerShell |
---|---|---|
Syntax | Verbose and English-like syntax, designed for readability. | Command-line interface with a syntax that combines elements of scripting and command execution. |
Paradigm | Procedural and imperative programming paradigm. | Object-oriented and functional programming capabilities. |
Typing | Strongly typed with explicit data type declarations. | Dynamically typed, allowing for more flexibility in variable types. |
Performance | Optimized for batch processing and large-scale data handling, generally high performance in those areas. | Performance can vary; optimized for automation tasks but may not match COBOL in data processing speed. |
Libraries and frameworks | Limited modern libraries; primarily focused on business applications and legacy systems. | Rich set of modules and libraries, especially for system administration and automation tasks. |
Community and support | Smaller community, primarily focused on legacy systems and enterprise applications. | Large and active community with extensive resources and support for modern IT environments. |
Learning curve | Steeper learning curve for those unfamiliar with its syntax and structure. | Generally easier for those with a background in scripting or system administration. |
