Remark: This article describes the BASIC function STR$ in BASIC V2 at the Commodore 64.
Typ: String Function General Programming-Syntax: STR$(<numerical>)
STR$ is used to converting numerical values or variables into a string. When the number is positive or 0, the first char is a space. When it is a negative number, the first char is a minus (-).
If you call this on the wrong type of variable, like a string, the BASIC-error ?TYPE MISMATCH ERROR in line will be returned.
Like any numeric function, STR$ works if the expression evaluates to a value +/- 1e+38 or floating numbers with maximal 9 decimal places inside the range +/- 1e+28. If the resulting value is outside these bounds, the BASIC-error ?OVERFLOW ERROR IN line will be returned.
If the numerical argument is missing, the BASIC-error ?SYNTAX ERROR IN line is viewed.
