Re: [Tutor] Decimal Conversion

There is one small mistake in Michael's answer. Variable 'r' should not be put behind but ahead. So operator '+=' could not be used here. You can use the following statement instead. b = r + ',' + b Operator '+' concatenate string together to make a new string. In this
