# FloatToStr

**FloatToStr** converts a **Float** into a **String** data type.

**FloatToStr** will not provide any formatting and the number will appear as is - which could result in lots of decimal places.

**FloatToStr** will use the decimal symbol as per the settings in Windows (Region) numbers.

If you need to control the format of the resulting String, use the **FormatFloat** function.

Declaration: Function FloatToStr( Value : Extended) : string

An example follows.

```pascal
procedure OnMapEvent(var Value:Variant);
var
  MyAmount : double;
  s1 : extended;
begin
  MyAmount := 123.45;
 //Value will be equal to '123.45'
  Value := FloatToStr(MyAmount);

  s1 := '1234.56789';          //Result is 1234.56789
  LogInfo('FloatToStr(StrToFloat(' + s1 + '))->' + FloatToStr(StrToFloat(s1)));

  s1 := '12';                  //Result is 12
  LogInfo('FloatToStr(StrToFloat(' + s1 + '))->' + FloatToStr(StrToFloat(s1)));

  s1 := '0.56789';             //Result is 0.56789
  LogInfo('FloatToStr(StrToFloat(' + s1 + '))->' + FloatToStr(StrToFloat(s1)));

  s1 := '34.5';                //Result is 34.5
  LogInfo('FloatToStr(StrToFloat(' + s1 + '))->' + FloatToStr(StrToFloat(s1)));

  s1 := '234.00';              //Result is 234
  LogInfo('FloatToStr(StrToFloat(' + s1 + '))->' + FloatToStr(StrToFloat(s1)));
  LogInfo('');

end;
```
