int = Abs(nNumber)

 

This macro function takes an integer as parameter and returns the absolute value of nNumber. The absolute value of a number is the same number if that number is positive, or its negative if the number is negative.

 

       Abs(20) // 20

       Abs(-30) // 30

       Abs(0) // 0

 

Note that the following  is always true :

 

       nNumber == Sign(nNumber) * Abs(nNumber)
