- Click the convert button.
- The resulting Rust code from the conversion will be displayed in the output box.
Examples
The following are examples of code conversion from R to Rust 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.

Example 2 - Even or Odd
A well commented function to check if a number if odd or even.

Key differences between R and Rust
| Characteristic | R | Rust |
|---|---|---|
| Syntax | R has a syntax that is similar to the S programming language, with a focus on data analysis and statistical computing. | Rust has a syntax that is similar to C++, with a focus on systems programming and memory safety. |
| Paradigm | R is primarily a functional programming language, but also supports object-oriented and procedural programming paradigms. | Rust is a multi-paradigm language that supports functional, imperative, and object-oriented programming paradigms. |
| Typing | R is dynamically typed, meaning that variable types are determined at runtime. | Rust is statically typed, meaning that variable types are determined at compile time. |
| Performance | R is not known for its performance, particularly when dealing with large datasets. | Rust is known for its performance, particularly in systems programming and low-level tasks. |
| Libraries and frameworks | R has a large number of libraries and frameworks for data analysis and statistical computing, including ggplot2, dplyr, and caret. | Rust has a growing number of libraries and frameworks, particularly for systems programming and web development, including Rocket, Actix, and Diesel. |
| Community and support | R has a large and active community of data analysts and statisticians, with many resources available for learning and support. | Rust has a growing community of developers, with many resources available for learning and support, including the Rust Programming Language book and Rust subreddit. |
| Learning curve | R has a relatively steep learning curve, particularly for those without a background in statistics or data analysis. | Rust has a moderate learning curve, particularly for those with experience in C++ or other systems programming languages. |
