Math.abs()

The Math.abs() function returns the absolute value of a number.

Syntax​

Math.abs(x)

Parameters​

  • x
    • : A number.

Return value​

The absolute value of x. If x is negative (including -0), returns -x. Otherwise, returns x. The result is therefore always a positive number or 0.

Description​

Because abs() is a static method of Math, you always use it as Math.abs(), rather than as a method of a Math object you created (Math is not a constructor).
