    proc `$`(x: int): string {...}{.magic: "IntToStr", noSideEffect.}

  The stringify operator for an integer argument. Returns `x` converted to a decimal string. `$` is Nim's general way of spelling toString. Source Edit

    proc `$`(x: int64): string {...}{.magic: "Int64ToStr", noSideEffect.}

  The stringify operator for an integer argument. Returns `x` converted to a decimal string. Source Edit

    proc `$`(x: float): string {...}{.magic: "FloatToStr", noSideEffect.}

  The stringify operator for a float argument. Returns `x` converted to a decimal string. Source Edit

    proc `$`(x: bool): string {...}{.magic: "BoolToStr", noSideEffect.}

  The stringify operator for a boolean argument. Returns `x` converted to the string "false" or "true". Source Edit

    proc `$`(x: char): string {...}{.magic: "CharToStr", noSideEffect.}

  The stringify operator for a character argument. Returns `x` converted to a string.

      assert $'c' == "c"

    proc `$`(x: cstring): string {...}{.magic: "CStrToStr", noSideEffect.}

  The stringify operator for a CString argument. Returns `x` converted to a string. Source Edit

    proc `$`(x: string): string {...}{.magic: "StrToStr", noSideEffect.}

  The stringify operator for a string argument. Returns `x` as it is. This operator is useful for generic code, so that `$expr` also works if `expr` is already a string. Source Edit

    proc `$`[Enum: enum](x: Enum): string {...}{.magic: "EnumToStr", noSideEffect.}

  The stringify operator for an enumeration argument. This works for any enumeration type thanks to compiler magic.

  If a `$` operator for a concrete enumeration is provided, this is used instead. (In other words: Overwriting is possible.)

  Source Edit

    proc `$`(t: typedesc): string {...}{.magic: "TypeTrait".}

  Returns the name of the given type.

  For more procedures dealing with `typedesc`, see typetraits module.

      doAssert $(type(42)) == "int"
      doAssert $(type("Foo")) == "string"
      static: doAssert $(type(@['A', 'B'])) == "seq[char]"

    proc `$`[T: tuple |
        object](x: T): string

  Generic `$` operator for tuples that is lifted from the components of `x`. Example:

      $(23, 45) == "(23, 45)"
      $(a: 23, b: 45) == "(a: 23, b: 45)"
      $() == "()"

    proc `$`[T](x: set[T]): string

  Generic `$` operator for sets that is lifted from the components of `x`. Example:

      ${23, 45} == "{23, 45}"

  Source Edit

    proc `$`[T](x: seq[T]): string

  Generic `$` operator for seqs that is lifted from the components of `x`. Example:

      $(@[23, 45]) == "@[23, 45]"

  Source Edit

    proc `$`[T, U](x: HSlice[T, U]): string

  Generic `$` operator for slices that is lifted from the components of `x`. Example:

      $(1 .. 5) == "1 .. 5"

  Source Edit

    proc `$`[T, IDX](x: array[IDX, T]): string

  Generic `$` operator for arrays that is lifted from the components. Source Edit

    proc `$`[T](x: openArray[T]): string

  Generic `$` operator for openarrays that is lifted from the components of `x`. Example:

      $(@[23, 45].toOpenArray(0, 1)) == "[23, 45]"
