absolute value
Always positive distance
Absolute value is a number's distance from zero, regardless of direction.
The absolute value of both 5 and −5 is 5.
The concept strips away the sign, leaving only magnitude: The absolute value of −12 is 12.
In equations, vertical bars indicate absolute value: |−7| = 7.
