ToString

Returns a number as the shortest text that reads back as exactly the same value.

Syntax

ToString( v )
ToString( v, fmt )
ToString( int64 )

Notes

• shortest string that reads back EXACTLY
• controlled

Examples

#import "std/numeric"
using numeric

'' THE SHORTEST STRING THAT READS BACK EXACTLY -- round-trip precision,
'' which STR( ) does not promise
print ToString( 0.1 + 0.2 )  '' 0.30000000000000004
print ToString( 1.0 )        '' 1
print ToString( 1.0 / 3.0 )  '' 0.3333333333333333

'' So ToString followed by TryParseDouble returns the identical double,
'' for every finite value
