Syntax

valstr(dest[], value, pack);

Parameters

Variable	Input

Variable	Input
`dest`	The string to store the text representation of the number in.
`value`	The number to put in the string `dest`.
`pack`	If true, `dest`will become a packed string, otherwise it will be an unpacked string.

Function call example

Example of converting value to string

new Destination_array[6];
new Number = 45;
new data;


main(){
 
    data = valstr(Destination_array,Number,false);// this will convert number 45 to ASCII 45 and stores in destination_array, and return length of string to data
 
  while(1){
    Delay(1000);                                 
  }
}

Notes and Warnings

Parameter dest should be of sufficient size to hold the converted number. The function does not check this.
