Name
       abs, labs - integer absolute value

Syntax
       #include <stdlib.h>
       #include <stdlib.h>

       long labs(i)
       long i;

       int abs(i)
       int i;

       long labs(i)
       long i;

Description
       The and functions return the absolute value of their integer operand.  The labs function does the same for a long int.

Restrictions
       Applying the or function to the most negative integer generates a result which is the most negative integer.  That is,
       abs(0x80000000)

       returns 0x80000000 as a result.

       abs, labs, llabs - return absolute value of integer

SYNOPSIS

       int abs(int val);

       long labs(long lval);

       long long llabs(long long llval);

DESCRIPTION

       The abs() function returns the absolute value of its int operand.

       The labs() function returns the absolute value of its long operand.

       The llabs() function returns the absolute value of its long long operand.

USAGE

       In 2's-complement representation, the absolute value of the largest magnitude negative integral value is undefined.
