How to use this tool?
This free online converter lets you convert code from Pascal to Lua in a click of a button. To use this converter, take the following steps -
- Type or paste your Pascal code in the input box.
- Click the convert button.
- The resulting Lua code from the conversion will be displayed in the output box.
Examples
The following are examples of code conversion from Pascal to Lua 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.
Pascal
Lua
Example 2 - Even or Odd
A well commented function to check if a number if odd or even.

Key differences between Pascal and Lua
Characteristic | Pascal | Lua |
---|---|---|
Syntax | Pascal has a more structured and verbose syntax compared to Lua. | Lua has a simpler and more flexible syntax compared to Pascal. |
Paradigm | Pascal is primarily a procedural programming language with support for object-oriented programming. | Lua is a lightweight scripting language that supports procedural, functional, and object-oriented programming paradigms. |
Typing | Pascal is a statically typed language, meaning variable types are checked at compile-time. | Lua is a dynamically typed language, meaning variable types are checked at runtime. |
Performance | Pascal is known for its efficient performance and is often used for system-level programming. | Lua is designed for simplicity and ease of use, sacrificing some performance compared to languages like Pascal. |
Libraries and frameworks | Pascal has a smaller ecosystem of libraries and frameworks compared to Lua. | Lua has a wide range of libraries and frameworks available, making it easier to find existing solutions for various tasks. |
Community and support | Pascal has a smaller community and less active support compared to Lua. | Lua has a larger and more active community, with extensive online resources and active development. |
Learning curve | Pascal has a steeper learning curve due to its more structured syntax and stricter typing. | Lua has a relatively low learning curve, making it easier for beginners to get started. |
