  23.   <p class="Paragraph">Using the Val function, you can convert a string representing numbers to numeric expressions. This is the inverse of the <span class="T1">Str</span> function. If only part of the string contains numbers, only the first appropriate characters of the string are converted. If the string does not contain any numbers, the <span class="T1">Val</span> function returns the value 0.</p>
