| Description |
The Str procedure converts an integer or floating point Number into a string, with optional basic formatting control.
By default, floating point numbers are shown in Exponential format, as here:
1.23400000000000E+0001
Specifying a Width guarantees that the output string will be at least that wide, with left blank padding added as appropriate.
When you specify Width, you can also specify Decimals for floating point numbers, which changes the display format to fixed as here:
1.234
Both Width and Decimals values may be provided by integer constants or variables.

var
intNumber : Integer;
floatNumber : Double;
text : string;
begin
// Assign values to our numbers
intNumber := 123;
floatNumber := 987.654;
// Display these numbers using vanilla 'Str'
Str(intNumber, text);
WriteLn('intNumber = '+text);
Str(floatNumber, text);
WriteLn('floatNumber = '+text);
// Now display using width and decimal place sizes
Str(intNumber:10, text);
WriteLn('intNumber = '+text);
Str(floatNumber:10:4, text);
WriteLn('floatNumber = '+text);
end;
