# stringValueOf

> Use the stringValueOf task to return the primitive value of a string object as a string data type.

The `stringValueOf` task returns the primitive value of a string object as a string data type. Primitive value is data that is stored directly in the location the variable accesses.

## Potential use case

This method is rarely used in data manipulation; however, it is useful when you need to convert different types of values into a string.

## Properties

| Incoming | Type   | Description                               |
| -------- | ------ | ----------------------------------------- |
| `str`    | String | Required. The string to get the value of. |

| Outgoing | Type   | Description                                                         |
| -------- | ------ | ------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `string` | String | A string representing the primitive value of a given string object. |

## Example

In this example, the `str` variable is set to `Hello World`.

The string is validated and the expected result will be `"Hello World"` contained within double quotation marks.
