The '''STR$''' function returns the [[STRING]] representation of a numerical value.


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


{{Parameters}}
* {{Parameter|number}} is any numerical type value to convert.


{{PageDescription}}
* Returns any type number value with leading sign(space/minus) or decimal point when one exists in the numerical value.
* If {{Parameter|number}} is positive, the [[STRING]] value returned will have a leading space character which can be removed using [[LTRIM$]].
* If {{Parameter|number}} is negative, the minus sign will precede the number instead of a space which [[LTRIM$]] will not remove.
* Trimming a STR$ string number using [[RTRIM$]] is not required as [[PRINT]] creates the undocumented trailing number space.
