Std.Math.abs

1 declaration

fn

abs: T -> T where T: Ord + Zero + Sub

This is a callable function.

What it does

The distance of a value from zero.

An unsigned type is its own distance, which is what makes this correct

rather than merely defined for one.

Read the signature

  • The text after the name is the type checked by Pudu.
  • Read arrows from left to right: inputs come first, and the final type is returned.
