> Computes an [absolute value][absolute-value].
The [absolute value][absolute-value] is defined as
Installation
`` bash`
$ npm install math-abs
Usage
` javascript`
var abs = require( 'math-abs' );
#### abs( x )
Computes an [absolute value][absolute-value].
` javascript
var val = abs( -1 );
// returns 1
val = abs( 2 );
// returns 2
val = abs( 0 );
// returns 0
val = abs( -0 );
// returns 0
`
Examples
` javascript
var abs = require( 'math-abs' );
var rand;
var sign;
var i;
for ( i = 0; i < 100; i++ ) {
rand = Math.round( Math.random() * 100 ) - 50;
sign = Math.random();
if ( sign < 0.5 ) {
sign = -1;
} else {
sign = 1;
}
console.log( 'Before: %d. After: %d.', rand, abs( rand ) );
}
