Description
Describe the bug
The number.toString() function, should be able to have the argument "radix" when you try this on
the micro:bit makecode website, it will produce this error:
error TS2554: Expected 0 arguments, but got 1.
In actual javascript, you should be able to use this function with an argument.

basic.showString(11.toString(2))
