Also known as absolute value function, absolute value of real number, modulus, absolute value of a real number, abs, abs()
nonnegative number with the same magnitude as a given real number
The absolute value of a number is its distance from zero on the number line, always expressed as a nonnegative (zero or positive) value. It matters because it lets us measure magnitude or "size" without worrying about whether a number is positive or negative.
