ABS(3) Minix Programmer's Manual ABS(3)

|
NAME
|
|
abs - integer absolute value
|
|
|
|
SYNOPSIS
|
|
#include <stdlib.h>
|
|
|
|
int abs(int i)
|
|
|
|
DESCRIPTION
|
|
Abs returns the absolute value of its integer operand.
|
|
|
|
SEE ALSO
|
|
floor(3).
|
|
|
|
BUGS
|
|
Applying the abs function to the most negative integer generates a result
|
|
which is the most negative integer. That is, abs(0x80000000) returns
|
|
0x80000000 as a result on a machine with 32-bit ints. Using the result
|
|
in unsigned computations is sound however.
