require 'bigdecimal'

# declaring BigDecimal
a = 42.1**13

# declaring BigDecimal
b = -BigDecimal("10")

# declaring BigDecimal
c = -(22 ** 7.1) * 10

# a
puts "absolute value of a : #{a.abs}\n\n"

# b
puts "absolute value of b : #{b.abs}\n\n"

# c
puts "absolute value of c : #{c.abs}\n\n"

Output :

absolute value of a : 1.3051704902006439e+21

c = BigDecimal('-3')

# a
puts "absolute value of a : #{a.abs}\n\n"

# b
puts "absolute value of b : #{b.abs}\n\n"

# c
puts "absolute value of c : #{c.abs}\n\n"
