/* FUNCTION <>---integer absolute value (magnitude) INDEX abs SYNOPSIS #include int abs(int <[i]>); DESCRIPTION <> 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 <> uses and returns <> rather than <> values. RETURNS The result is a nonnegative integer. PORTABILITY <> is ANSI. No supporting OS subroutines are required. */ #include int _DEFUN (abs, (i), int i) { return (i < 0) ? -i : i; }
