The **STR$** function returns the [STRING](STRING) representation of a numerical value.
## Syntax
> result$ = **STR$(**number**)**
## Parameter(s)
* number is any numerical type value to convert.
## Description
* Returns any type number value with leading sign(space/minus) or decimal point when one exists in the numerical value.
* If number is positive, the [STRING](STRING) value returned will have a leading space character which can be removed using [LTRIM$](LTRIM$).
* If number is negative, the minus sign will precede the number instead of a space which [LTRIM$](LTRIM$) will not remove.
* Trimming a STR$ string number using [RTRIM$](RTRIM$) is not required as [PRINT](PRINT) creates the undocumented trailing number space.
## Example(s)
```vb
PRINT STR$( 1.0 )
PRINT STR$( 2.3 )
PRINT STR$( -4.5 )
```
```text
1
2.3
-4.5
```
```vb
a = 33
PRINT STR$(a) + "10" + "1" + "who" + STR$(a) + STR$(a) + LTRIM$(STR$(a))
```
```text
33101who 33 3333
```
