#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.
