C# | Math.Abs() Method | Set – 1

In C#, Abs() is a Math class method which is used to return the absolute value of a specified number. This method can be overload by passing the different type of parameters to it. There are total 7 methods in its overload list.

  1. Math.Abs(Decimal)
  2. Math.Abs(Double)
  3. Math.Abs(Int16)
  4. Math.Abs(Int32)
  5. Math.Abs(Int64)
  6. Math.Abs(SByte)
  7. Math.Abs(Single)
  8. Math.Abs(Int64)

    This method is used to return the absolute value of a 64-bit signed integer.

    Syntax:

    public static long Abs (long val);

    Parameter:

    val: It is the required number which is greater than Int64.MinValue, but less than or equal to Int64.MaxValue of type System.Int64.

    Return Type: It returns a 64-bit signed integer say r, such that 0 ≤ r ≤ Int64.MaxValue.

    Exception: This method will give OverflowException if the value of val is equals to Int64.MinValue.

    Example:




    // C# Program to illustrate the
    // Math.Abs(Int64) Method
    using System;
      
    class Geeks {
      
        // Main Method
        public static void Main()
        {
      
            // Taking long values
            long[] val = {Int64.MaxValue, 78345482, -4687985, 0};
      
            // using foreach loop
            foreach(long value in val)
      
                // Displaying the result
                Console.WriteLine("Absolute value of {0} = {1}",
                                        value, Math.Abs(value));
        }
    }

    
    

    Output:

    Absolute value of 9223372036854775807 = 9223372036854775807
    Absolute value of 78345482 = 78345482
    Absolute value of -4687985 = 4687985
    Absolute value of 0 = 0
    

    Math.Abs(SByte)

    This method is used to return the absolute value of an 8-bit signed integer.

    Syntax:

    public static sbyte Abs (sbyte val);

    Parameter:

    val: It is the required number which is greater than SByte.MinValue, but less than or equal to SByte.MaxValue of type System.SByte.

    Return Type: It returns a 8-bit signed integer say r, such that 0 ≤ r ≤ SByte.MaxValue.

    Exception: This method will give OverflowException if the value of val is equals to SByte.MinValue.

    Example:




    // C# Program to illlustrate the
    // Math.Abs(SByte) Method
    using System;
      
    class Geeks {
      
        // Main Method
        public static void Main()
        {
      
            // Taking SByte values
            sbyte[] sb = {SByte.MaxValue, 45, -41, 0};
      
            // using foreach loop
            foreach(sbyte value in sb)
      
                // Displaying the result
                Console.WriteLine("Absolute value of {0} = {1}",
                                        value, Math.Abs(value));
        }
    }

    
    

    Output:

    Absolute value of 127 = 127
    Absolute value of 45 = 45
    Absolute value of -41 = 41
    Absolute value of 0 = 0
    

    Math.Abs(Single)

    This method is used to return the absolute value of a single-precision floating-point number.

    Syntax:

    public static float Abs (float val);

    Parameter:

    val: It is the required number which is greater than or equal to Single.MinValue, but less than or equal to MaxValue of type System.Single.

    Return Type: It returns a single-precision floating-point number say r, such that 0 ≤ r ≤ Single.MaxValue.

    Note:

    • If val is equal to NegativeInfinity or PositiveInfinity, the return value will be PositiveInfinity.
    • If the val is equal to NaN then return value will be NaN.

    Example:




    // C# Program to illlustrate the
    // Math.Abs(Single) Method
    using System;
      
    class Geeks {
      
        // Main Method
        public static void Main()
        {
      
            float nan = float.NaN;
      
            // Taking float values
            float[] fl = {float.MinValue, 127.58f, 0.000f,
                        7556.48e10f, nan, float.MaxValue};
      
            // using foreach loop
            foreach(float value in fl)
      
                // Displaying the result
                Console.WriteLine("Absolute value of {0} = {1}",
                                        value, Math.Abs(value));
        }
    }

    
    

    Output:

    Absolute value of -3.402823E+38 = 3.402823E+38
    Absolute value of 127.58 = 127.58
    Absolute value of 0 = 0
    Absolute value of 7.55648E+13 = 7.55648E+13
    Absolute value of NaN = NaN
    Absolute value of 3.402823E+38 = 3.402823E+38
