The example below show you how to get the absolute value of a number. To get the absolute value or the abs value of a number we use the Math.abs()
method call. The Math.abs()
method is an overloaded that can accept value in type of double
, float
, int
or long
.
package org.kodejava.math;
public class GetAbsoluteValueExample {
public static void main(String[] args) {
Double value = -10.0D;
double abs1 = Math.abs(value);
System.out.println("Absolute value in double: " + abs1);
float abs2 = Math.abs(value.floatValue());
System.out.println("Absolute value in float : " + abs2);
int abs3 = Math.abs(value.intValue());
System.out.println("Absolute value in int : " + abs3);
long abs4 = Math.abs(value.longValue());
System.out.println("Absolute value in long : " + abs4);
}
}
The code snippet above print the following result:
Absolute value in double: 10.0
Absolute value in float : 10.0
Absolute value in int : 10
Absolute value in long : 10
