How to use this tool?

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

  1. Type or paste your R 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 R 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.

Key differences between R and Matlab

CharacteristicRMatlab
SyntaxR has a syntax that is similar to the S programming language, with a focus on data analysis and visualization.Matlab has a syntax that is similar to traditional programming languages, with a focus on numerical computation and scientific computing.
ParadigmR is a functional programming language that supports object-oriented programming and procedural programming.Matlab is a procedural programming language that supports some object-oriented programming concepts.
TypingR is dynamically typed, meaning that variable types are determined at runtime.Matlab is dynamically typed, meaning that variable types are determined at runtime.
PerformanceR can be slower than Matlab for certain types of computations, but it has improved significantly in recent years.Matlab is known for its fast performance and is often used for computationally intensive tasks.
