lazarus - Pascal integer to string conversion -

is there built in function converts integers strings in free pascal, in returns string object of integer input? i've scowered google , docs 2 hours , have found nothing false hope , disappointment. using lazarus 1.4.4 on windows 10.

also, why pascal complex/aggravating? there tons of versions, ides, application support vs not application support, , docs mediocre @ best (at least free pascal, although delphi's doesn't @ glance either). it's on place, it's giant tangled pair of earbuds.

thank you!

as said there inttostr, delphi's way of doing it. classic pascal solution str. both work in fpc , delphi, though inttostr might require object oriented (delphi alike) mode in fpc.

a string not object btw, first class native type.

basically lazarus/fpc , delphi active native pascal products. typically 2 last versions of lazarus in active roulation (1.4.4 , rc's upcoming 1.6). older versions still visible on specially debian , derivatives(because in active debian stable).

for delphi of course there more versions in roulation because new version must bought (in eur/$ 500-600 range).

the fpc docs quite good, there several thousands of pages (and doxygen tool set not generate pages without content). lazarus has different setting , generates pages skeleton info only.

for totally self supported project (no major, continuous corporate sponsors, no dedicated ftes, either directly project (like firefox) or @ sponsors (like e.g. llvm) ) quite good.
