.NET Framework (current version)

Returns the absolute value of a single-precision floating-point number.

Namespace: System
Assembly: mscorlib (in mscorlib.dll)

Syntax

public:
static float Abs(
	float value
)

Parameters

A number that is greater than or equal to Single::MinValue, but less than or equal to Single::MaxValue.

Return Value

Type: System::Single

A single-precision floating-point number, x, such that 0 ≤ x ≤Single::MaxValue.
