How to convert an ip to string in puppet

I am using version 3.8 of puppet and I need to convert an ip address to a string. I tried the String function but I am getting an error.

This is the code I am using:

class resolver::params {
  $ip = String($::ipaddress)
  $octs = split($ip, '.')

  file{ '/tmp/teste.txt':
   content => $octs[0]
  }
}

Here is the output:

Error: Could not retrieve catalog from remote server: Error 400 on SERVER: Syntax error at '('; expected ')' at /etc/puppet/modules/resolver/manifests/params.pp:2 on node  example.intranet.example.br
Warning: Not using cache on failed catalog
Error: Could not retrieve catalog; skipping run

You can use string interpolation, with the facter variable as the expression to be evaluated, i.e.:

$ip = "${::ipaddress}"
