<code class="sig">string(x) -&gt; string</code>
<div class="desc"><p>Converts a value to its textual form: an <code>int</code>, <code>bool</code>, or <code>fixed</code> becomes a string, and a value that is already a string is returned unchanged. This is what backtick <code><code>{…}</code></code> interpolation calls under the hood, so most of the time you can interpolate directly instead of calling <code>string</code> yourself. Reach for the explicit form when you need to store or pass around the text, or build a string in pieces. The result can be printed, drawn with <code>Screen.draw_text</code>, or concatenated.</p></div>
