    12  earlier, see

    15  `abs` returns the absolute value of the given number. In other words, if the
    16  number is zero or positive then it is returned as-is, but if it is negative
    17  then it is multiplied by -1 to make it positive before returning it.

    19  ## Examples
    20  
    21  ```
    22  > abs(23)
    23  23
    24  > abs(0)
    25  0
    26  > abs(-12.4)
    27  12.4
