Integer to string in App Inventor

I would like to know whether the App Inventor have any "proper" way to convert the integer to string?

e.g.: toString() in C++

Currently i am using an indirect way,using "trim" function in the string to convert the integer to string.

Solution

  • There is no conversion from integer to string necessary, just use the variable as it is.

    Same for string to integer. In this case you might want to test first, if it is a number using the is a number block, see also http://appinventor.mit.edu/explore/ai2/support/blocks/math.html#isnumber.
