Str Function

Returns the String form of the value passed.

Syntax
result = Str( number )

Parameters
number | Any | Any numeric expression.

Return Value
Result | String | The String version of the number passed.

# Notes

Use the Format function when you want to convert numeric values into formatted strings such as dates, times, currency, etc. For real numbers, Str returns 7 significant digits.

Str assumes the period (.) is the decimal separator. If your application needs to recognize other decimal separators, use the CStr function.

# Examples

This example uses the Str function to return the String form of several numbers.

Dim s As String
s=Str(123) //returns "123"
s=Str(-123.44) //returns "-123.44"
s=Str(123.0045) //returns "123.0045"
Const Pi=3.14159265358979323846264338327950
s= Str(pi) // returns "3.141593"
s= Str(3141592653589012345) // returns "3141592653589012345"
