STR$ - QB64Official/qb64 GitHub Wiki

The STR$ function returns the STRING representation of a numerical value.

Syntax

result$ = STR$(number)

Parameter(s)

  • number is any numerical type value to convert.

Description

  • Returns any type number value with leading sign(space/minus) or decimal point when one exists in the numerical value.
  • If number is positive, the STRING value returned will have a leading space character which can be removed using LTRIM$.
  • If number is negative, the minus sign will precede the number instead of a space which LTRIM$ will not remove.
  • Trimming a STR$ string number using RTRIM$ is not required as PRINT creates the undocumented trailing number space.

Example(s)


PRINT STR$( 1.0 )
PRINT STR$( 2.3 )
PRINT STR$( -4.5 )



 1
 2.3
-4.5



a = 33
PRINT STR$(a) + "10" + "1" + "who" + STR$(a) + STR$(a) + LTRIM$(STR$(a))
