Syntax
CHR( expression )
Description
CHR returns a single byte string containing the character represented by
the ASCII code passed to it. For example, CHR(97)
returns "a".
Note:
There is no need for a complimentary function, as that type
conversion is automatic, see sample code below.
Example
PRINT "the character
represented by the ASCII code of 97 is:"; CHR(97) ' will print a
DIM
a(10) as STRING ' examples of automatic type conversion complimentary to
CHR
a ="asdf"
PRINT a(0),
chr(a(0))
' will print 97 a
x = a(0)
PRINT
x
' will print 97
if x = "a" then PRINT "it is
a" ' will print it is
a
