NAME

str$ - convert numeric to string

SYNOPSIS

v$ = str$(NumExpr)

DESCRIPTION

Str$ converts its numeric argument to a string of characters which represent the value of the argument and returns this string.  The string contains a leading minus sign if the argument is negative, and a leading space if the argument is positive or zero. 

NumExpr may be any numeric expression. 

The val function is complementary to str$. 

EXAMPLE

The program

	a$ = ""
	for i = 1 to 12
		a$ = a$ + str$(i)
	next i
	print a$

produces the output

	 1  2  3  4  5  6  7  8  9  10  11  12
