str Function

Function:	Converts unsigned 16-bit numeric value (word) into its decimal string representation.
Syntax:	str(num as word) as string
See Also:	lstr, stri, lstri, bin, lbin, hex, lhex, val, lval

Part	Description
num	Value to be converted to string.

Details

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

Examples

Tibbo BASIC

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