abs number v10.4.28

static method returns the absolute value of a number

In pins 1

Number required
number

Out pins 1

Number
number

Outputs the absolute value of the number pin. Numeric strings and booleans coerce (true=1, false=0); an unwired, nil, or non-numeric input outputs nil instead of a number. Example: number="-3.5" -> 3.5.

A typical wiring for abs: the number out pin feeds cast to value.
