How to use this tool?

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

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

Examples

The following are examples of code conversion from SAS 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 SAS and C

CharacteristicSASC
SyntaxSAS uses a data step and a proc step to read, manipulate, and analyze data. The syntax is verbose and requires a lot of typing.C has a concise syntax that is closer to the machine language. It uses semicolons to separate statements and curly braces to group statements.
ParadigmSAS is a procedural language that follows a step-by-step approach to solve problems.C is a structured language that supports both procedural and object-oriented programming paradigms.
TypingSAS is a dynamically typed language, which means that the data type of a variable is determined at runtime.C is a statically typed language, which means that the data type of a variable is determined at compile time.
PerformanceSAS is optimized for data manipulation and analysis, and it can handle large datasets efficiently.C is a low-level language that is optimized for performance and can be used to write system-level software.
Libraries and frameworksSAS has a large collection of built-in libraries and frameworks for data manipulation, analysis, and visualization.C has a smaller collection of libraries and frameworks, but it can interface with other languages and libraries through its foreign function interface (FFI).
Community and supportSAS has a large and active community of users and developers, and it is supported by SAS Institute, Inc.C has a large and diverse community of users and developers, and it is supported by many organizations and open-source projects.
Learning curveSAS has a steep learning curve due to its verbose syntax and complex data manipulation and analysis procedures.C has a moderate learning curve, and it requires a good understanding of computer architecture and memory management.
