How to use this tool?

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

  1. Type or paste your Java 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 Java 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.

Key differences between Java and Lisp

CharacteristicJavaLisp
SyntaxJava has a C-style syntax, which is similar to C++ and C#. It uses curly braces to define blocks of code and semicolons to end statements.Lisp has a unique syntax that uses lots of parentheses and prefix notation. It is very different from most other programming languages.
ParadigmJava is an object-oriented programming language that supports imperative and declarative programming styles.Lisp is a functional programming language that supports imperative and declarative programming styles.
TypingJava is a statically typed language, which means that variable types are checked at compile time.Lisp is a dynamically typed language, which means that variable types are checked at runtime.
PerformanceJava is generally faster than Lisp because it is compiled to bytecode, which can be executed directly by the Java Virtual Machine (JVM).Lisp is generally slower than Java because it is interpreted and does not have the same level of optimization as Java.
Libraries and frameworksJava has a large number of libraries and frameworks available, including Spring, Hibernate, and Apache Struts.Lisp has a smaller number of libraries and frameworks available compared to Java.
Community and supportJava has a large and active community with many resources available for learning and support.Lisp has a smaller community compared to Java, but it is still active and has resources available for learning and support.
Learning curveJava has a moderate learning curve, especially for beginners who are new to programming.Lisp has a steep learning curve due to its unique syntax and functional programming paradigm.
