| Description | ||||||
|
The FloatToStr function converts a floating point number Value into a displayable string.
The value is displayed to 15 digits of precision. The Value type may be any of the floating point types. Values before the decimal point (the mantissa) exceeding the display capacity (15) result in a display using the exponent value, such as 1.2E9. Version 2 of this function is for use within threads. You furnish the FormatSettings record before invoking the call. It takes a local copy of global formatting variables that make the routine thread safe. | ||||||
| Notes | ||||||
| You can change the decimal point value by setting the DecimalSeparator character.
Use the FloatToStrF function for control over the formatting. | ||||||
