Examples
The following are examples of code conversion from Kotlin to C 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 Kotlin and C
| Characteristic | Kotlin | C |
|---|---|---|
| Syntax | Kotlin has a concise and expressive syntax that reduces the amount of boilerplate code required compared to C. | C has a more verbose syntax that requires more code to accomplish the same tasks compared to Kotlin. |
| Paradigm | Kotlin is a multi-paradigm language that supports both object-oriented and functional programming paradigms. | C is a procedural language that does not support object-oriented or functional programming paradigms. |
| Typing | Kotlin is a statically typed language that supports type inference, making it easier to write code without explicitly declaring types. | C is a statically typed language that requires explicit declaration of types. |
| Performance | Kotlin is generally slower than C due to its higher-level abstractions and garbage collection. | C is generally faster than Kotlin due to its lower-level abstractions and lack of garbage collection. |
| Libraries and frameworks | Kotlin has a growing ecosystem of libraries and frameworks, including popular ones like Spring and Ktor. | C has a limited ecosystem of libraries and frameworks compared to Kotlin. |
| Community and support | Kotlin has a large and active community with good support from JetBrains, the company behind the language. | C has a smaller community and less support compared to Kotlin. |
| Learning curve | Kotlin has a relatively low learning curve for developers familiar with Java or other object-oriented languages. | C has a steeper learning curve compared to Kotlin due to its lower-level abstractions and lack of modern language features. |
