abs() in Python
The abs() function is used to return the absolute value of a number.
Syntax:
abs(number) number : Can be integer, a floating point number or a complex number
The abs() takes only one argument, a number whose absolute value is to be returned. The argument can be an integer, a floating point number or a complex number.
- If the argument is an integer or floating point number, abs() returns the absolute value in integer or float.
- In case of complex number, abs() returns only the magnitude part and that can also be a floating point number.
# Python code to illustrate # abs() built-in function # floating point number float = -54.26print('Absolute value of float is:', abs(float)) # An integer int = -94print('Absolute value of integer is:', abs(int)) # A complex number complex = (3 - 4j) print('Absolute value or Magnitude of complex is:', abs(complex)) |
