abs (Function)
Signature: abs(value: t0) -> t0
Description: Returns the absolute value with the same numeric type as its input, at any integer or float width. A signed integer minimum performs Arith.overflow; the enclosing policy supplies the result. Float absolute value is total: negative zero becomes positive zero, infinities become positive infinity, and NaN remains NaN.
Parameters
- value (
t0): The int or float whose magnitude to take
Returns: t0
Example
let d = abs(0 - 5) // int: 5
let f = abs(-2.5) // float: 2.5d = abs (0 - 5) // int: 5
f = abs -2.5 // float: 2.5
