In some Basic the 'print using()' command can define the way the number is displayed.
I am testing a program, that I found on rosettacode.org, that uses 1,000,000 iterations' RCBasic displays 1,000,000 as 1e+06. Is it possible to format the output to display the proper length of 1e+06 as 1000000?

I don't really remember scientific notation but if you post your code I might be able to help.

Ok. I think it is Italian but the results are in English. I was just trying to see what the program was doing.
iteraciones = 1000000
cara = 0
dormir = 0
randomize(timer)
for i = 1 to iteraciones - 1
lanza_moneda = rand(2) + 1
dormir = dormir + 1
if lanza_moneda = 1 then
cara = cara + 1
else
dormir = dormir + 1
end if
next
print "Wakings over " + str(iteraciones) + " repetitions = " + str(dormir)
print "Percentage probability of heads on waking = " + str((cara/dormir*100)) + "%"
end
I think it is recording the chances of flipping a coin a million times?
There is no rush on this.... This was only a curiosity...
Many thanks.

Try using Str_F() instead of Str()

Well that certainly fixed the 'e+06' issue. Cool. I am going to have to remember that command. Many thanks.
