====== Type Conversion ======
Type conversion can be used to convert the variable to the desired
representation.

===== Hex =====

Converts the variable to a string representation of a hexadecimal value (16
bit). Hex8 means to convert to 8 decimal places. (1 to 8 can be used for
decimal places)

<code xbasic>
Debug Hex A          ' If A is 123ABC, 123ABC is printed
Debug Hex8 A         ' If A is 123ABC, bb123ABC is printed,
                     ' b is a blank space in this case.
Debug Hex5 A         ' If A is 123ABC, 23ABC is printed, first character is cut.
</code>

===== Dec =====
Converts an integer variable to a string representation of a decimal (10 bit).
Dec8 means to convert to 8 decimal places. (1 to 11 can be used for
decimal places)

<code xbasic>
Debug Dec A           ' If A is 1234, 1234 is printed.
Debug Dec10 A         ' If A is 1234, bbbbbb1234 is printed,
                      ' b is a blank space in this case.
Debug Dec3 A          ' If A is 1234, 234 is printed, first character is cut
</code>

===== ? =====
Include the name of the variable by using question mark (?). This question
mark can only be used with HEX or DEC.

<code xbasic>
Debug Dec ? A         ' If A is 1234, "A=1234" will be printed.
Debug Hex ? A         ' If A is &HABCD, "A=ABCD" will be printed.
Debug Hex ? B         ' If B is a variable within a subroutine
                      ' (for example: subroutine CONV) with a value of
                      ' &HABCD "B_@_CONV=ABCD" will be printed
</code>

====== Float ======

Use Float to convert floating point values to String.

<code xbasic>
Const Device = cb280
Dim F1 As Single
F1 = 3.14
Debug Float F1,cr          ' Print "3.14000".
Dim ST As String * 15
ST = Float F1              ' First store in a String.
ST = Left(ST,3)            ' Convert to 3 decimal places
Debug ST                   ' Print "3.14".
