Method Name:
fabs(aNumber_in)
Method Overview:
Returns the absolute value of a Number.
If we draw a number line the absolute value of a number tells the magnitude of its distance from zero,
without considering the direction. Hence both the numbers -6 and 6 will be at a distance of 6 from zero.

import math # Absolute zero temperature is -273 degree celcius AbsolouteZero = -273 Magnitude = math.fabs(-273) print("Printing only the magnitude for absolute zero: {}".format(Magnitude)) # Number of storeys below ground floor in my apartment...0 being ground floor maxFloorBelow = -2 FloorCountBelowGround = math.fabs(maxFloorBelow) print("The number of floors below ground: {}".format(FloorCountBelowGround)) |
Output
