The fabs() functions return the absolute value of the floating-point number x. RETURN VALUE
These functions return the absolute value of x. If x is a NaN, a NaN is returned. If x is -0, +0 is returned. If x is negative infinity or positive infinity, positive infinity is returned. ERRORS
No errors occur. CONFORMING TO
