Syntax
ABS ( number )
Description
The absolute value of a number is its unsigned
magnitude. For example, ABS(-1) and ABS(1) both return 1. The required
number argument can be any valid numeric expression. If number is
an uninitialized variable, zero is returned.
Example
PRINT ABS
( -1 )
PRINT ABS
( 42 )
PRINT ABS
( N )
N = -69
PRINT ABS ( N )
The output would look like:
1
42
0
69
