Inputs/Outputs

datatype_icon

number

A number to be converted into a string.

This input can also be any data type that contains only numbers, such as an array of numbers or a cluster of numbers. If this input is floating-point, this node rounds it to a 64-bit integer before conversion.

datatype_icon

width

A number specifying how many characters to use to express number as a string.

If width is less than the number of characters required, this node uses exactly as many characters as needed. If width is greater than the number of characters required, this node adds a space on the left side of the output string for each additional character.

Default value: No value — Exactly as many characters as are needed to represent the number, with no extra padding.
