The math.fabs() method is used to return the absolute value of a number as a float.
This method eliminates the negative sign from a value if it exists.
Syntax
import math
math.fabs(num)
Parameter
num(required): A number, either integer or float, from which you want to get the absolute value.
Return Value
It returns a float even if the argument is an integer.
If the input number is not a number , it returns TypeError.
Visual Representation
Example 1: How to Use math.fabs() Method
import math
print(math.fabs(25))
print(math.fabs(-25))
print(math.fabs(2.67))
print(math.fabs(-2.67))
Output
25.0
25.0
2.67
2.67
Example 2: Passing a tuple and list elements as arguments
import math
Tup = (11, 21, 30, -46, 19) # Tuple Declaration
Lis = [-11, 22, -3.3, -44, 55] # List Declaration
print('Absolute value of Tuple Item = %.2f' % math.fabs(Tup[3]))
print('Absolute value of List Item = %.2f' % math.fabs(Lis[2]))
Output
Absolute value of Tuple Item = 46.00
Absolute value of List Item = 3.30
