toString in EmWi

Question

Hello,
my Code is:

var int32 value = GetValue();
var string text = "The value is" + value; 

This code invokes a "bad operation" error. So i need a toString - method to transform my integer value into a string. Is there one in Chora?

You can use the instant constructor for strings:

var int32 value = GetValue();
var string text = "The value is: " + string( value );

Additionally, you can define the number of digits by using a second parameter. For example, you can convert the value into a string with 5 digits:

var string text = "The value is: " + string( value, 5 );

For more information, please have a look into the Chora User Manual, chapter 7.7 Instant Constructors.
