Description

FloatToStr converts the floating point variable Value to a string representation. It will choose the shortest possible notation of the two following formats:

Fixed format
will represent the string in fixed notation,
Decimal format
will represent the string in scientific notation.

More information on these formats can be found in FloatToStrF. FloatToStr is completely equivalent to the following call:

FloatToStrF(Value, ffGeneral,15, 0);

Note that on unix systems, the localization support must be enabled explicitly, see Localization.

Errors

None.

Program Example67;

{ This program demonstrates the FloatToStr function }

Uses sysutils;

Procedure Testit (Value : Extended);

begin
  Writeln (Value,' -> ',FloatToStr(Value));
  Writeln (-Value,' -> ',FloatToStr(-Value));
end;

Begin
  Testit (0.0);
  Testit (1.1);
  Testit (1.1e-3);
  Testit (1.1e-20);
  Testit (1.1e-200);
  Testit (1.1e+3);
  Testit (1.1e+20);
  Testit (1.1e+200);
End.
