Turns a real number into a string.

sstring(n)

Returns: string

This function tries to change any object to a string. If object t is of a primitive type such as number then this will work out of the box. Should the input type be more complex eg. List<string> then the type will be returned as a string.

draw_text(16, 16, "Enemies left: " + sstring(instance_number(obj_enemy)));

This code will draw in the top left corner how many enemies are left after an entrance phase of "Enemies left: ". This is very useful for displaying data on the screen such as FPS, instances in a room, coordinates, etc.
