NumPy ndarray.__abs__() | Find Absolute Value of Elements in NumPy Array

The ndarray.__abs__() method returns the absolute value of every element in the NumPy array.

It is automatically invoked when we use Python’s built-in method abs() on a NumPy array.

Example

Python3

import numpy as np
gfg = np.array([1.45, 2.32, 3.98, 4.41, 5.55, 6.12])
print(gfg.__abs__())

Output

[ 1  2  3  4  5  6]

Syntax

Syntax: ndarray.__abs__() 

Return: Returns an array with absolute values.

How to find Absolute Values of the NumPy Array

To find absolute values of the elements of NumPy array we use ndarray.__abs__() method of the NumPy library in Python.

Let’s understand it better with an example:

Example:

Python3

# import the important module in python
import numpy as np

# make an array with numpy
gfg = np.array([[1.22, 2.25, -3.21, 4.45, 5.56, 6],
                [-6.65, 5.55, 4.32, 3.33, 2.12, -1.05]])

# applying ndarray.__abs__() method
print(gfg.__abs__())

Output

[[ 1  2  3  4  5  6 ]
 [ 6  5  4  3  2  1]]
