Part	Description
num	Value to be converted to string.

Details

This function can be invoked implicitly through the string_var = short_var expression (see example below). The compiler is smart enough to pre-calculate constant-only expressions involving implicit use of the stri function.

Examples

Tibbo BASIC

							dim sh as short
							dim s as string
							 
							sh= -3400
							s = stri(sh) 'explicit invocation.
							s = sh 'implicit invocation
							s = stri(-100) 'will be calculated at compilation -- no actual stri function invokation will be here
