Str converts numeric variables to their string representation. Used this way it is the String equivalent to WStr applied to numeric variables, and the opposite of the Val function, which converts a string into a number.

Str converts boolean variables to their string representation "false" / "true".

Str also converts Unicode character strings to ASCII character strings. Used this way it does the opposite of WStr. If an ASCII character string is given, that string is returned unmodified.

Dim a As Integer
Dim b As String

Print a, b
