value = 0.0;
Console.WriteLine(Math.Abs(value));
value = -58.2;
Console.WriteLine(Math.Abs(value));
value = 8.7;
Console.WriteLine(Math.Abs(value));
value = -55.55e-10;
Console.WriteLine(Math.Abs(value));
value = Double.NaN;
Console.WriteLine(Math.Abs(value));
}
} Output
45.55 0 58.2 8.7 5.555E-09 NaN

Syntax
The syntax of Abs() method is
Math.Abs(Int32 value)
where
| Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
| value | The 32-bit signed integer whose absolute value has to be found out. |
Return Value
Abs(Decimal) returns 32-bit signed integer value.
Example 4 – Abs(Int32)
In this example, we will take few 32-bit signed integer values and find out their absolute value using Math.Abs(Int32) method.
C# Program
using System;
class Example {
static void Main(string[] args) {
Int32 value;
value = -455844525;
Console.WriteLine(Math.Abs(value));
value = 7;
Console.WriteLine(Math.Abs(value));
value = -58;
Console.WriteLine(Math.Abs(value));
}
} Output
455844525 7 58
Abs(Int64)
Math.Abs(value) returns the absolute value of a 64-bit signed integer value.
Syntax
The syntax of Abs() method is
Math.Abs(Int64 value)
where
| Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
| value | The 64-bit signed integer whose absolute value has to be found out. |
Return Value
Abs(Int64) returns 64-bit signed integer value.
Example 5 – Abs(Int64)
In this example, we will take few 64-bit signed integer values and find out their absolute value using Math.Abs(Int64) method.
C# Program
using System;
class Example {
static void Main(string[] args) {
Int64 value;
value = -9455844525;
Console.WriteLine(Math.Abs(value));
value = 7;
Console.WriteLine(Math.Abs(value));
value = -58;
Console.WriteLine(Math.Abs(value));
}
} Output
9455844525 7 58
Abs(SByte)
