In Lua, you can convert a number to a string using the **`tostring()` function.**

# Syntax
```
tostring(number)
```
# Parameters
This function requires a number as a mandatory parameter.
# Return value
This function will return the number as a string value.
# Code
In this example, we will convert two different numbers and we will see the differences in the output.

mynumber = 10
newstring = tostring(mynumber)
print(mynumber, " is a ", type(newstring))

mynumber2 = 10.0
newstring2 = tostring(mynumber2)
print(mynumber2, " is a ", type(newstring2))

## Expected output
```
10	 is a 	string
10.0	 is a 	string
```
