NAME

fabs, fabsf, fabsl - absolute value of floating-point number

SYNOPSIS

#include <math.h>

double fabs(double x);
float fabsf(float x);
long double fabsl(long double x);

Link with -lm.

Feature Test Macro Requirements for glibc (see feature_test_macros(7)):

fabsf(), fabsl():

_ISOC99_SOURCE || _POSIX_C_SOURCE >= 200112L
|| /* Since glibc 2.19: */ _DEFAULT_SOURCE
|| /* Glibc versions <= 2.19: */ _BSD_SOURCE || _SVID_SOURCE

These functions return the absolute value of the floating-point number x.

These functions return the absolute value of x.

If x is a NaN, a NaN is returned.

If x is -0, +0 is returned.

If x is negative infinity or positive infinity, positive infinity is returned.

No errors occur.
