Str Function

Returns the String form of the value passed.

Syntax

result = Str( number )

Parameters

number

Any

Any numeric expression.

Return Value

Result

String

The String version of the number passed.

Notes


Use the Format function when you want to convert numeric values into formatted strings such as dates, times, currency, etc. For real numbers, Str returns 7 significant digits.

Str assumes the period (.) is the decimal separator. If your application needs to recognize other decimal separators, use the CStr function.


Examples

This example uses the Str function to return the String form of several numbers.

Dim s As String
s=Str(123)      //returns "123"
s=Str(-123.44)  //returns "-123.44"
s=Str(123.0045) //returns "123.0045"
Const Pi=3.14159265358979323846264338327950
s= Str(pi)  // returns "3.141593"
s= Str(3141592653589012345) // returns "3141592653589012345"
