The abs() function returns the absolute or value of input passed over it as an argument & returns value with no sign consideration.

Python Absolute Value

• It kind of working similar to the way that you understand mathematics. -Essentially an Absolute number or value is the distance on numbers from 0

Python Abs() Function

• Is one of the math functions Get the Absolute Value in Python

  			
  					# Get the Absolute Value
  abs(x)
  
  			
  	
  
  			
  	
  			
  
  		
  	
  

Let's take a look at some of the arguments that the absolute function allows.

• Abs(Integer)``(-1,0,1)
• Abs(Floating Point Value)``(-1.0,0,1.0)
• Abs(Complex Numbers)``(5j,0+6j)

			
					num1 = 1
print("Value1",abs(num1))
num2 = -1
print("Value2",abs(num2))
num3 = 5.0
print("Value3",abs(num3))
num4 = -5.0
print("Value4",abs(num4))
num5 = 0-4j
print("Value5",abs(num5))
num6 = 0+8j
print("Value6",abs(num6))

			
	

			
	
			

		
	

returns

			
					Value1 : 1
Value2 : 1
Value3 : 5.0
Value4 : 5.0
Value5 : 4.0
Value6 : 8.0

			
	

			
	
			

		
	

Python math fabs()

• Import Math module & use the fabs() method
• Get the absolute Value as a Float

			
					import math
math.fabs(-55)

			
	

			
	
			

		
	

returns

			
					55.0

			
	

			
	
			

		
	

Note that fabs() function to get absolute value results in float number
