Every class has the `out` method that can be used to get a text version of the object. For a lot of classes, this method returns internal information that is not really useful for the end user. But for every `NUMERIC` class, the `out` method returns a text representation of the number that the `NUMERIC` object represents.

|
<code>
|
|
print_integer (a_integer: INTEGER)
|
|
-- Print the value of `a_integer`.
|
|
do
|
|
print (a_integer.out + "%N")
|
|
end
|
|
</code>

Note that for more advanced conversion, you can also use a conversion class like `FORMAT_DOUBLE`. |
