| number->string n [radix] | Scheme Procedure |
| scm_number_to_string (n, radix) | C Function |
| Return a string holding the external representation of the number n in the given radix. If n is inexact, a radix of 10 will be used. |
| string->number string [radix] | Scheme Procedure |
| scm_string_to_number (string, radix) | C Function |
Return a number of the maximally precise representation
expressed by the given string. radix must be an
exact integer, either 2, 8, 10, or 16. If supplied, radix
is a default radix that may be overridden by an explicit radix
prefix in string (e.g. "#o177"). If radix is not
supplied, then the default radix is 10. If string is not a
syntactically valid notation for a number, then
string->number returns #f.
