|   std::intmax_t imaxabs( std::intmax_t n );  | 
(since C++11) | |
Computes the absolute value of an integer number. The behavior is undefined if the result cannot be represented by the return type.
 If std::abs is called with an argument of type X such that std::is_unsigned<X>::value is true and X cannot be converted to int by integral promotion, the program is ill-formed. | 
(since C++17) | 
Parameters
| n | - | integer value | 
Return value
The absolute value of n (i.e. |n|), if it is representable.
Notes
In 2's complement systems, the absolute value of the most-negative value is out of range, e.g. for 32-bit 2's complement type int, INT_MIN is -2147483648, but the would-be result 2147483648 is greater than INT_MAX, which is 2147483647.
Example
Run this code
#include <iostream> #include <cstdlib> #include <climits> int main() { std::cout << "abs(+3) = " << std::abs(3) << '\n' << "abs(-3) = " << std::abs(-3) << '\n'; // std::cout << std::abs(INT_MIN); // undefined behavior on 2's complement systems }
Output:
abs(+3) = 3 abs(-3) = 3
