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
# Get the Absolute Value abs(x)
- Is one of the math functions
Get the Absolute Value in Python
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
