Published by Matt in

Take an array of integers (positive or negative or both) and return the sum of the absolute value of each element.

Examples

get_abs_sum([2, -1, 4, 8, 10]) ➞ 25

get_abs_sum([-3, -4, -10, -2, -3]) ➞ 22

get_abs_sum([2, 4, 6, 8, 10]) ➞ 30

get_abs_sum([-1]) ➞ 1

Notes

  • The term "absolute value" means to remove any negative sign in front of a number, and to think of all numbers as positive (or zero).
  • All the elements in the given array are integers.
