Number To Decimal String

Converts number to a string of decimal digits at least width characters wide, or wider if necessary. If number is floating point it will be truncated to a long integer before conversion. The connector pane displays the default data types for this polymorphic function.

number can be a scalar number, array or cluster of numbers, array of clusters of numbers, and so on.
width must be numeric. If unwired, the function uses exactly as many digits as are needed to represent the number, with no extra padding.
decimal integer string is the resulting decimal string. The following table shows how the values of number and width affect decimal integer string. In this table, the underline character ( _ ) represents spaces in decimal integer string.
