        // Purpose: Converts boolean, date, and numeric data types into String data type
        // 
        // Syntax: 	Convert.ToString(expression)
        //  
        // Parameter1: expression - boolean, date, and numeric data types
        //
        // Result: String - 1. If boolean, returns string "True" or "False" 
        // 2. If date, returns A string containing a date value (date and time) in the short date 
        // format of your system
        // 3. If number, returns a string representing the number
        //
        // Quick Example: Convert.ToString(5.5) // Returns 5.5
        //
