String()

Summary

Converts a real number to a string.

 

Syntax

str_value = String(number value)

 

Argument	Contents
value	A real or integer number

 

Returns

A string that indicates the value of real_value.

 

Notes

• String(value) is the same as Format(value, "*.######") for real numbers, so String(0.0000001) returns 0. If you want more than six significant digits you can use, for example, Format(value, "*.*").

Example

r = 2/3

ShowMessage(String(r) + "|" + Format(r, "*.######") + "|" + Format(r, "*.*"))

r = 0.0000001

ShowMessage(String(r) + "|" + Format(r, "*.######") + "|" + Format(r, "*.*"))
