Python abs() Built in Function
The abs() function in Python returns the absolute value of a number. The absolute value of a number is its distance from zero on the number line. For example, the absolute value of -5 is 5 and the absolute value of 5 is also 5. The abs() function can take any numeric type as an argument, such as integers, floats or complex numbers. If the argument is a complex number, abs() returns its magnitude, which is the square root of the sum of squares of its real and imaginary parts.
Here are some examples of Python code using abs():
# Absolute value of an integer
print(abs(-10)) # prints 10
# Absolute value of a float
print(abs(-3.14)) # prints 3.14
# Absolute value of a complex number
print(abs(2+3j)) # prints 3.605551275463989
