The {{KW|STR$}} function returns the {{KW|STRING}} representation of a numerical value.


{{PageSyntax}}
:''result$'' = {{KW|STR$}}({{Parameter|number}})


{{PageDescription}}

* {{Parameter|number}} is any numerical type value to convert.
* If {{Parameter|number}} is positive, the {{KW|STRING}} value returned will have a leading space character. The leading space can be removed using {{KW|LTRIM$}}.
* If {{Parameter|number}} is negative, the minus sign will precede the number instead of a space.
* Returns any type number value with decimal point when needed.
* Trimming a number using {{KW|RTRIM$}} is not required as STR$ removes the undocumented trailing PRINT number space.
