# numberToString

> Use the toString task to convert a number into its string representation.

The `numberToString` task converts a number into a string and returns a string representing the specified number value.

## Potential use case

If a recent query into a ticketing database returns a series of numbers, use this task to convert a specified number to a string — for example, to send that number value as the body of an email.
