New page

The toString( command, given any value including real numbers, complex numbers, lists, or matrices, returns the string representation of the value of the input.
<div style="background: #FFF; border: 1px dashed #DDD; padding-left:1em; margin: 1em 0 1em 0; font-family:Arial Unicode MS; color: #000; letter-spacing:1.2pt;">
:toString(1337 //returns "1337"

:toString({1,2,3} //returns "{1,2,3}"

:toString([[1,2][3,4]] //returns "[[1,2][3,4]]"

:toString(√-1 //returns imaginary number "i"
</div>
toString( has less limitations than the [[eval(]] command. It can handle lists, matrices, and complex numbers. Another difference from eval( is that toString( is affected by display mode changes like Fix.

toString( replaces the old number-to-string routine previously used prior to OS 5.2.

= Error Conditions =

* '''[[TI-BASIC:Errors#datatype|ERR:DATA TYPE]]''' is thrown when the input is a string.
* '''[[TI-BASIC:Errors#nonrealans|ERR:NONREAL ANSWERS]]''' is thrown when the input is a complex number and your calculator is in REAL mode.
* '''[[TI-BASIC:Errors#syntax|ERR:SYNTAX]]''' is thrown when trying to evaluate a command that doesn't return a value.

= Related Commands =

* [[TI-BASIC:eval|eval(]]
* [[TI-BASIC:expr|expr(]]
