## @deftypefn  {} {@var{str} =} num2str (@var{x})
## @deftypefnx {} {@var{str} =} num2str (@var{x}, @var{precision})
## @deftypefnx {} {@var{str} =} num2str (@var{x}, @var{format})
## Convert a number (or array) to a string (or a character array).
##
## The optional second argument may either give the number of significant
## digits (@var{precision}) to be used in the output or a format template
## string (@var{format}) as in @code{sprintf} (@pxref{Formatted Output}).
## @code{num2str} can also process complex numbers.
##
## Examples:
##
## @example
## num2str (123.456)
##   @result{} 123.456
##
## num2str (123.456, 4)
##   @result{} 123.5
##
## s = num2str ([1, 1.34; 3, 3.56], "%5.1f")
##   @result{} s =
##        1.0  1.3
##        3.0  3.6
## whos s
##   @result{} Variables in the current scope:
##         Attr Name        Size                     Bytes  Class
##         ==== ====        ====                     =====  =====
##              s           2x8                         16  char
##      Total is 16 elements using 16 bytes
##
## num2str (1.234 + 27.3i)
##   @result{} 1.234+27.3i
## @end example
##
## The @code{num2str} function is not very flexible.  For better control
## over the results, use @code{sprintf} (@pxref{Formatted Output}).
##
## Programming Notes:
##
## For @sc{matlab} compatibility, leading spaces are stripped before returning
## the string.
##
## Integers larger than @code{flintmax} may not be displayed correctly.
##
## For complex @var{x}, the format string may only contain one output
## conversion specification and nothing else.  Otherwise, results will be
## unpredictable.
##
## Any optional @var{format} specified by the programmer is used without
## modification.  This is in contrast to @sc{matlab} which tampers with the
## @var{format} based on internal heuristics.
## @seealso{sprintf, int2str, mat2str}
