     9  # `abs` Function
    10  
    11  `abs` returns the absolute value of the given number. In other words, if the
    12  number is zero or positive then it is returned as-is, but if it is negative
    13  then it is multiplied by -1 to make it positive before returning it.
    14  
    15  ## Examples
    16  
    17  ```
    18  > abs(23)
    19  23
    20  > abs(0)
    21  0
    22  > abs(-12.4)
    23  12.4
    24  ```
