abs()

Usage:

abs(x), x REAL or a structure with REAL components

Keywords: transformations

abs(x) returns the absolute values of the elements of x, when x is a
REAL scalar, vector, matrix or array.  The result has the same shape as
x.

When any element of x is MISSING, so is the corresponding element of
abs(x) and a warning message is printed.

When x is a structure, all of whose non-structure components are REAL,
abs(x) is a structure of the same shape and with the same component
names as x, with each non-structure component transformed by abs().
