# Trait std::string::ToString [−] [src]

    pub trait ToString {
        fn to_string(&self) -> String;
    }

A trait for converting a value to a `String`.

This trait is automatically implemented for any type which implements the `Display` trait. As such, `ToString` shouldn't be implemented directly: `Display` should be implemented instead, and you get the `ToString` implementation for free.

## Required Methods

### `fn to_string(&self) -> String`

Converts the given value to a `String`.

# Examples

Basic usage:

fn main() { let i = 5; let five = String::from("5"); assert_eq!(five, i.to_string()); }

    let i = 5;
    let five = String::from("5");

    assert_eq!(five, i.to_string());

## Search Tricks

Prefix searches with a type followed by a colon (e.g. `fn:`) to restrict the search to a given type.

Accepted types are: `fn`, `mod`, `struct`, `enum`, `trait`, `type`, `macro`, and `const`.

Search functions by type signature (e.g. `vec -> usize`)
