The math.fabs() function returns the absolute value of a number.

The absolute value of a given number, is the number's distance from zero. So for example, the absolute value of 6 is 6, and the absolute value of -6 is also 6, since they are both 6 units away from zero.

math.fabs(x)

Where, x is the number whose absolute value is to be determined.

The function returns the absolute value of x as a floating point value.

import math

math.fabs(3)
//3.0
math.fabs(-3)
//3.0
math.fabs(-3.142)
//3.142
fabs(10)
//10
fabs(-50)
//50
fabs(100.11)
//100.11

As shown above, the absolute value of a positive number is equal to the number itself, while the absolute value of a negative number is equal to its positive counterpart.
