This free online converter lets you convert code from SAS to PySpark in a click of a button. To use this converter, take the following steps -
The following are examples of code conversion from SAS to PySpark 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.
SAS
PySpark
Example 2 - Even or Odd
A well commented function to check if a number if odd or even.

Characteristic | SAS | PySpark |
---|---|---|
Syntax | Uses a proprietary language with a focus on data manipulation and statistical analysis. | Uses Python syntax, which is more familiar to many developers and data scientists. |
Paradigm | Primarily procedural and declarative programming. | Supports functional programming and distributed computing paradigms. |
Typing | Dynamically typed with a focus on data types specific to statistical analysis. | Dynamically typed, but can leverage static typing through type hints in Python. |
Performance | Optimized for in-memory processing and can be very fast for smaller datasets. | Designed for distributed computing, can handle large datasets efficiently across clusters. |
Libraries and frameworks | Includes built-in procedures and functions for statistical analysis and reporting. | Integrates with the broader Python ecosystem, including libraries like Pandas, NumPy, and machine learning frameworks. |
Community and support | Strong support from SAS Institute and a dedicated user community, but less open-source collaboration. | Large open-source community with extensive resources, tutorials, and forums available. |
Learning curve | Steeper learning curve for those unfamiliar with its syntax and procedures. | Easier for those with Python experience, but can be complex due to distributed computing concepts. |
