This free online converter lets you convert code from VB.NET to SAS in a click of a button. To use this converter, take the following steps -
- Type or paste your VB.NET code in the input box.
- Click the convert button.
- The resulting SAS code from the conversion will be displayed in the output box.
Examples
The following are examples of code conversion from VB.NET to SAS 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.
VB.NET
SAS
Example 2 - Even or Odd
A well commented function to check if a number if odd or even.
VB.NET
SAS
Key differences between VB.NET and SAS
Characteristic | VB.NET | SAS |
---|---|---|
Syntax | VB.NET uses a syntax similar to the BASIC programming language, with a focus on readability and simplicity. | SAS uses a unique syntax that is specifically designed for statistical analysis and data manipulation. |
Paradigm | VB.NET is primarily an object-oriented programming language, but it also supports procedural and functional programming paradigms. | SAS is primarily a procedural programming language, but it also supports some object-oriented programming concepts. |
Typing | VB.NET is a statically-typed language, which means that variable types are checked at compile-time. | SAS is a dynamically-typed language, which means that variable types are determined at runtime. |
Performance | VB.NET is a compiled language, which generally results in faster performance compared to interpreted languages. | SAS is an interpreted language, which may result in slower performance compared to compiled languages. |
Libraries and frameworks | VB.NET has a wide range of libraries and frameworks available, including the .NET Framework and various third-party libraries. | SAS has a comprehensive set of built-in libraries and frameworks for statistical analysis and data manipulation. |
Community and support | VB.NET has a large and active community of developers, with extensive online resources and support available. | SAS also has a dedicated community of users and developers, with resources and support provided by SAS Institute. |
Learning curve | VB.NET has a relatively low learning curve, especially for developers familiar with other BASIC-like languages. | SAS has a steeper learning curve, particularly for those without prior experience in statistical analysis or data manipulation. |
