lstri Function

Function:	Converts signed 32-bit numeric value (long) into its decimal string representation.

Part	Description
num	Value to be converted to string.

Details

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

Examples

Tibbo BASIC

							dim l as long
							dim s as string
							 
							l= -5123
							s = lstri(l) 'explicit invocation.
							s = l 'implicit invocation
							s = lstri(-20) 'will be calculated at compilation -- no actual lstri function invokation will be here
