abs() - Utility Function


Tutorials Cpp

Topic

How is Utility function "abs()" used in C++?
How to find the absolute value of a given number?



Explanation

abs() is a Utility Function that returns the absolute value for the given number. For long, double values the function returns the same results as "labs()", "fabs()".

Syntax to find Absolute Value:
    int abs(int num);
    long abs (long num);
    double abs(double num);

Example:

   #include <stdlib.h>
   #include <stdio.h>
   int main ()
     {
       int a,b,c,d;
       a=45;
       b=abs(a);
       c=-15;
       d=abs(c);
       printf ("The absolute value of %d is:: %d\n",a,b);
       printf ("The absolute value of %d is:: %d\n",c,d);
       return 0;
     }

Result:
   The absolute value of 45 is:: 45
   The absolute value of -15 is:: 15
   Abnormal program termination

In the above example abs() is used to find the absolute value of integers "45","-15".
