SYNOPSIS

|
|
|
#include <stdlib.h>
|
|
|
|
|
int abs(int <[i]>);

DESCRIPTION
|
|
|
|
|
<<abs>> returns

|
|
|
@tex
|
|
|
|
|
$|x|$,
|
|
|
|
|
@end tex
|
|
|
|
|
the absolute value of <[i]> (also called the magnitude
|
|
|
|
|
of <[i]>). That is, if <[i]> is negative, the result is the opposite
|
|
|
|
|
of <[i]>, but if <[i]> is nonnegative the result is <[i]>.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The similar function <<labs>> uses and returns <<long>> rather than <<int>> values.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
RETURNS
|
|
|
|
|
The result is a nonnegative integer.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
PORTABILITY
|
|
|
|
|
<<abs>> is ANSI.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
No supporting OS subroutines are required.
