 Example

 The following example uses the  STR$ function to convert a number to its
 string representation and strips out the leading and trailing blanks that
 BASIC ordinarily prints with numeric output.

 CLS                            ' Clear the screen.


 PRINT "Enter 0 to end."


 DO


     INPUT "Find cosine of. ",Num


     IF Num = 0 THEN EXIT DO


     X$ = STR$(Num)


     NumRemBlanks$ = LTRIM$(RTRIM$(X$))


     PRINT "COS(" NumRemBlanks$ ") = " COS(Num)


 LOOP




 Output



 Enter 0 to end.


 Find cosine of. 3.1


 COS(3.1) = -.9991351
