How to use this tool?

This free online converter lets you convert code from SAS to Lisp 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 Lisp code from the conversion will be displayed in the output box.

Examples

The following are examples of code conversion from SAS to Lisp 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 Lisp

CharacteristicSASLisp
SyntaxSAS uses a data step and a proc step to process data. The data step is used to read, manipulate, and output data, while the proc step is used to perform statistical analyses and generate reports.Lisp has a unique syntax that uses lots of parentheses and prefix notation. It is a functional programming language that treats code as data.
ParadigmSAS is primarily a procedural programming language, but it also supports some object-oriented programming concepts.Lisp is a functional programming language that treats code as data. It supports recursion and higher-order functions.
TypingSAS is a statically typed language, which means that variable types are determined at compile time.Lisp is a dynamically typed language, which means that variable types are determined at runtime.
PerformanceSAS is known for its high performance in data processing and statistical analysis.Lisp is not known for its performance, but it can be optimized for specific tasks.
Libraries and frameworksSAS has a large number of built-in libraries and frameworks for data processing and statistical analysis.Lisp has a smaller number of libraries and frameworks, but it has a strong community that creates and maintains them.
Community and supportSAS has a large and established community with many resources and support options available.Lisp has a smaller but dedicated community with many resources and support options available.
Learning curveSAS has a steep learning curve due to its complex syntax and wide range of features.Lisp has a steep learning curve due to its unique syntax and functional programming concepts.
