STR$ function

[Parker]

In my opinion, the STR$ function shouldn't return a space in front of the number. I think this is a convention with BASIC languages, but Aurora isn't BASIC, and there are some times when you don't want a space in front. It's much easier to do

Code Select Expand

writeln("There are "+str$(num,0)+" of them");
than to do

Code Select Expand

writeln("$"+ltrim$(rtrim$(str$(num,2))));
and the first way looks a lot cleaner too. Just my opinion, since I always end up having code that uses the second way and would like to use the first way instead.

I agree. It got a bit boring after a while in IBasic having to put LTRIM$ on to STR$

I'll look into changing it for the next update.
