Recreating the abs() Function

Published by Werdna in

The Math.Abs() function returns the absolute value of a number. This means that it returns a number's positive value. You can think of it as the distance away from zero.

Create a function that recreates this functionality.

Examples

absolute(-3) ➞ 3

absolute(250) ➞ 250

Notes

  • Tests will only include valid numbers.
  • Don't use the Math.Abs() function (it will defeat the purpose of the challenge).
