## Syntax

> string_value$ = [_MK$](_MK$)(numericalType, numericalValue)

## Parameter(s)

* numericalType is any QB64 numerical type: [INTEGER](INTEGER), [LONG](LONG), [SINGLE](SINGLE), [DOUBLE](DOUBLE), [_INTEGER64](_INTEGER64), [_BYTE](_BYTE) and [_OFFSET](_OFFSET).
* Whole integer values can be signed or [_UNSIGNED](_UNSIGNED).
* numericalValue must match the numericalType used.
