The '''MKD$''' function converts a [[DOUBLE]] numerical value into an 8 byte [[ASCII]] [[STRING]] value.


{{PageSyntax}}
:: 8byte_string$ = MKD$(double_value)


* The double precision number value is converted to eight ASCII characters. To prove this try: PRINT MKD$(12345678).
* [[DOUBLE]] values can range up to 15 decimal point digits. Decimal point accuracy depends on whole value places taken.
* The string value can be converted back to a DOUBLE numerical value using [[CVD]].
* [[DOUBLE]] numerical variable values [[PUT]] into a [[BINARY]] file are automatically placed as an MKD$ [[ASCII]] string value.
