Python abs()

ItsMyCode |
The abs() function in Python returns the absolute value of a given number, which means the abs() method removes the negative sign of a number.
If the given number is complex, then the abs() function will return its magnitude.
*abs() Syntax *
The syntax of abs() method is
abs(number)
abs() Parameters
The abs() function takes a single argument, a number whose absolute value is to be returned. The number can be
  • integer
  • floating-point number
  • complex number
  • abs() Return Value
    abs() method returns an absolute value of a given number.
  • For integers – absolute integer value is returned
  • For floating numbers – absolute floating-point value is returned
  • For complex numbers – the magnitude of the number is returned
  • What does the abs() function do in Python?
    The abs() function will turn any negative number into positive, the absolute value of a negative number is multiplied by (-1) and returns the positive number, and the absolute value of a positive number is the number itself.
    Example 1: Get absolute value of a number in Python
    In this example, we will pass an integer, float into the abs() function, and returns the absolute value.
    # Python code to illustrate abs() built-in function
    
    # integer number
    integer = -10
    print('Absolute value of -10 is:', abs(integer))
    
    # positive integer number
    positive_integer =20
    print('Absolute value of 20 is:', abs(positive_integer))
    
    # floating point number
    floating = -33.33
    print('Absolute value of -33.33 is:', abs(floating))
    Output
    Absolute value of -10 is: 10
    Absolute value of 20 is: 20
    Absolute value of -33.33 is: 33.33
    Absolute value of 3-4j is: 5.0
    Example 2: Get the magnitude of a complex number
    In this example, we will pass a complex number into the abs() function and returns the absolute value.
    # Python code to illustrate abs() built-in function
    
    # complex number
    complex=(3-4j)
    print('Absolute value of 3-4j is:', abs(complex))
    Output
    Absolute value of 3-4j is: 5.0
