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
