MMbasic 5.0:  Returns a string in the decimal (base 10) representation of ‘number’.

If ‘m’ is specified sufficient spaces will be added to the start of the number to ensure that the number of characters before the decimal point (including the negative sign) will be at least ‘m’ characters. If ‘m’ is zero or the number has more than ‘m’ significant digits no padding spaces will be added. If ‘m’ is negative the plus symbol will be added to the start of positive numbers and then padded with leading spaces if required.

‘n’ is the number of digits required to follow the decimal place. The maximum value is seven and if ‘n’ is zero the string will be returned without the decimal point. If ‘n’ is not specified then the number of decimal places will vary according to the number.

‘c$’ is a string and if specified the first character of this string will be used as the padding character instead of a space (see the ‘m’ argument).

STR$(123.456) will return "123.456"
STR$(123.456, 6) will return " 123.456"
STR$(-123.456, 6) will return " -123.456"
STR$(-123.456, 6, 5) will return " -123.45600"
STR$(53, 6) will return " 53"
STR$(53, 6, 2) will return " 53.00"
STR$(53, 6, 2, "*") will return "****53.00"
