REM Conversion Functions Example
PRINT "CBYTE(99.44) = " & CBYTE(99.44)
PRINT "CCUR(9283.066) = " & CCUR(9283.066)
PRINT "CDATE(8/18/98) = " & CDATE("8/18/98")
PRINT "CDBL(3.141593) = " & CDBL("3.141593")
PRINT "CINT(3.141593) = " & CINT("3.141593")
PRINT "CSNG(10) = " & CSNG(10)
PRINT "CSTR(TRUE) = " & CSTR(TRUE)

Output

CBYTE(99.44) = 99
CCUR(9283.066) = 9283.066
CDATE(8/18/98) = 8/18/1998
CDBL(3.141593) = 3.141593
CINT(3.141593) = 3
CSNG(10) = 10
CSTR(TRUE) = True
