Math.Abs Method (Int16)
Returns the absolute value of a 16-bit signed integer.
Assembly: mscorlib (in mscorlib.dll)
Parameters
- value
- Type: System.Int16
A number that is greater than Int16.MinValue, but less than or equal to Int16.MaxValue.
| Exception | Condition |
|---|---|
| OverflowException | value equals Int16.MinValue. |
The absolute value of an Int16 is its numeric value without its sign. For example, the absolute value of both 123 and -123 is 123.
The following example uses the Abs(Int16) method to get the absolute value of a number of Int16 values.
short[] values = { Int16.MaxValue, 10328, 0, -1476, Int16.MinValue }; foreach (short value in values) { try { Console.WriteLine("Abs({0}) = {1}", value, Math.Abs(value)); } catch (OverflowException) { Console.WriteLine("Unable to calculate the absolute value of {0}.", value); } } // The example displays the following output: // Abs(32767) = 32767 // Abs(10328) = 10328 // Abs(0) = 0 // Abs(-1476) = 1476 // Unable to calculate the absolute value of -32768.
