Function Syntax
string to_string( any anything)
- anything is any data type that KoLmafia uses
string to_string( num number, string format)
- number is either an int or a float
- format is a format string used by the Java formatter
Returns any datatype as its string equivalent. For int and float types, you may optionally specify a format string, which can be useful for (among other things) printing only a few decimal places, or placing commas to break up large numerals.
Code Sample
Displays only two decimal places
to_string(123.456789,"%.2f")Returned: 123.46
Displays an integer with commas.
to_string(10000000,"%,d")Returned: 10,000,000
Special
Note that this function isn't needed for print() and string concatenation, as KoLmafia handles conversions transparently in those cases; however, this function is still useful for passing a non-string value as a string parameter, or a part thereof.
