int abs( int n );
long labs( long n );
long long llabs( long long n );
(since C99) (since C99)Computes the absolute value of an integer number. The behavior is undefined if the result cannot be represented by the return type.
[edit] Parameters [edit] Return valueThe absolute value of n (i.e. |n|
), if it is representable.
In 2's complement systems, the absolute value of the most-negative value is out of range, e.g. for 32-bit 2's complement type int, INT_MIN is -2147483648, but the would-be result 2147483648 is greater than INT_MAX, which is 2147483647.
[edit] Example#include <limits.h> #include <stdio.h> #include <stdlib.h> int main(void) { printf("abs(+3) = %d\n", abs(+3)); printf("abs(-3) = %d\n", abs(-3)); // printf("%+d\n", abs(INT_MIN)); // undefined behavior on 2's complement systems }
