fabs()

Prototype: double fabs(double number);
Header File: math.h (C) or cmath (C++)
Explanation: This function returns the absolute value of a number. It will not truncate the decimal like abs() will, so it is better for certain calculations.

Example:

//Example outputs absolute value of -12.3 with fabs and abs
#include <cmath>
#include <iostream>
int main()
{
  cout<<"Abs(-12.3)="<<abs(-12.3)<<endl;
  cout<<"Fabs(-12.3)="<<fabs(-12.3);
}
