Every class has the <code>out</code> method that can be used to get a text version of the object. For a lot of class, this method return internal informations that are not really useful for the end user. But for every <code>NUMERIC</code> class, the <code>out</code> method return a text representation of the number that the <code>NUMERIC</code> object represents.
<code>
print_integer(a_integer:INTEGER)
do
print(a_integer.out + "%N")
end
</code>
Note that for more advance convertion, you can also used convertion class like <code>FORMAT_DOUBLE</code>.
