How to use this tool?

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

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

Examples

The following are examples of code conversion from Lua to Matlab 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 Lua and Matlab

CharacteristicLuaMatlab
SyntaxLua has a simple and flexible syntax that is easy to learn and use.Matlab has a syntax that is similar to traditional programming languages, but with a focus on mathematical operations.
ParadigmLua is a multi-paradigm language that supports procedural, functional, and object-oriented programming.Matlab is a high-level language that is designed for numerical computing and supports procedural, functional, and object-oriented programming.
TypingLua is dynamically typed, which means that variable types are determined at runtime.Matlab is dynamically typed, which means that variable types are determined at runtime.
PerformanceLua is known for its fast performance and small memory footprint.Matlab is optimized for numerical computing and can handle large datasets, but may not be as fast as other languages for general-purpose programming.
Libraries and frameworksLua has a small standard library, but there are many third-party libraries and frameworks available.Matlab has a large library of built-in functions and toolboxes for various applications, as well as support for third-party libraries.
Community and supportLua has a small but dedicated community of developers and users, with active forums and mailing lists for support.Matlab has a large user community and extensive documentation and support resources, including online forums, documentation, and training courses.
Learning curveLua has a relatively low learning curve, with a simple syntax and easy-to-understand concepts.Matlab has a moderate learning curve, with a focus on mathematical operations and specialized syntax for numerical computing.
