StringTerm ToString(Term)Description
This term will return the String counterpart of the argument term.
Return Value
The Term returns the value, see table below.
In OTX, Terms are categorized according to its return data type!
| Data Type | Description |
| String | Returns the String counterpart of the argument term. |
Rules
- Boolean
- Returns "true" if true , otherwise "false" .
- Integer
- Returns a decimal number as a string.
- Float
- Returns the floating-point number as a string with a "." (Point) as the decimal separator. For an overview about string representations of floats see §3.10.2 of The Java™ Language Specification.
- ByteField
- Returns an interpretation of the ByteFields to UTF-8.
- String
- Returns a copy of the value.
- List
- Returns the string of the list in the form of a ListLiterals , for example: "{1, 2, 3}".
- Map
- Returns the string of the map in the form of a MapLiterals , for example: "{"key1"=1, "key2"=2, "key3"=3}".
Properties
| Name | Data Type | Class | Default | Cardinality | Description |
| Term | - | Term | - | [1] | Represents the OTX term that will be converted to a new value of the String data type. See conversion rule descriptions above. |
Examples
