Python Absolute Value

abs() in Python

The abs() function is used to return the absolute value of a number.
Syntax:

abs(number)
number : Can be integer, a floating point
number or a complex number

The abs() takes just a single argument, a number whose absolute value is to be returned. The argument can be an integer, a floating point number or a mind boggling number.

• On the off chance that the argument is an integer or floating point number, abs() returns the absolute value in integer or float.
• In case of complex number, abs() returns just the magnitude part and that can also be a floating point number.

# Python code to illustrate

# abs() built-in function

# floating point number

float = -54.26

print('Absolute value of float is:', abs(float))

# An integer

int = -94

print('Absolute value of integer is:', abs(int))

# A complex number

complex = (3 - 4j)

print('Absolute value or Magnitude of complex is:', abs(complex))

Output:

Absolute value of float is: 54.26
Absolute value of integer is: 94
Absolute value or Magnitude of complex is: 5.0
