How to use this tool?
This free online converter lets you convert code from Dart to COBOL in a click of a button. To use this converter, take the following steps -
- Type or paste your Dart code in the input box.
- Click the convert button.
- The resulting COBOL code from the conversion will be displayed in the output box.
Examples
The following are examples of code conversion from Dart to COBOL 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.
Dart
COBOL
Example 2 - Even or Odd

Key differences between Dart and COBOL
Characteristic | Dart | COBOL |
---|---|---|
Syntax | Dart has a C-style syntax with curly braces and semicolons. | COBOL has a verbose and English-like syntax with a lot of keywords and punctuation. |
Paradigm | Dart supports both object-oriented and functional programming paradigms. | COBOL is primarily a procedural programming language. |
Typing | Dart is a statically typed language with type inference. | COBOL is a statically typed language with explicit type declarations. |
Performance | Dart is designed to be fast and efficient, with a just-in-time (JIT) compiler and an ahead-of-time (AOT) compiler. | COBOL is not known for its performance and is often used for legacy systems. |
Libraries and frameworks | Dart has a growing ecosystem of libraries and frameworks, including Flutter for building cross-platform mobile apps. | COBOL has limited libraries and frameworks compared to modern languages. |
Community and support | Dart has an active and growing community with good support from Google. | COBOL has a smaller and declining community with limited support. |
Learning curve | Dart has a relatively moderate learning curve, especially for developers familiar with C-style languages. | COBOL has a steep learning curve, especially for developers without prior experience in mainframe programming. |
