"VB" to "ICAD (a programming language:to interact wid CATIA)" conversion is possible?

[Anane]

Hi all,

I have got one requirement which should convert Visual Basic code to ICAD code. I dont know whether this is possible or not.

What I feel is, since VB and ICAD are different in architecture itself, this would be very tough (if this thing is possible).

Please get me d answer. For this application any popular programming language can be used. But is the requirement feasible?

Also let me know what should be the basic similarity required between two languages to convert one language to other?

This should probably be on the Visual Basic forum...That said, I think any language can be converted (at least approximately) into any other as long as both are Turing-complete.

that is what i want to know. u said both language should tune-up very well? but what do you mean by tune-up?

No he said "Turing complete", i.e. both languages should have the same expressive
power as a single tape deterministic Turing machine. I think, but I don't have room
enough to prove it here that that is the exact property why two of these languages
*can't* always be translated from one to the other.

kind regards,

Jos
