STR$

A string function which returns the string form of the numeric argument as it would have been printed.

If the most significant byte of @% is not zero, STR$ uses the current @% description when generating the string. If it is zero (the initial value) then the G9 format (see PRINT) is used.

If STR$ is followed by ~ (tilde) then a hexadecimal conversion is carried out.

A$=STR$(PI)
B$=STR$~(100) :REM B$ will be "64"

The opposite function to STR$ is performed by the VAL function.

Syntax

<s-var>=STR$[~](<numeric>)
