  2. Negative number - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Negative_number

    The absolute value of a number is the non-negative number with the same magnitude. For example, the absolute value of −3 and the absolute value of 3 are both equal to 3, and the absolute value of 0 is 0.

  3. Absolute value - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Absolute_value

    The real absolute value function is an example of a continuous function that achieves a global minimum where the derivative does not exist. The subdifferential of | x | at x = 0 is the interval [−1, 1]. [14] The complex absolute value function is continuous everywhere but complex differentiable nowhere because it violates the Cauchy–Riemann ...

    They do, however, share an attribute with the reals, which is called absolute value or magnitude. Magnitudes are always non-negative real numbers, and to any non-zero number there belongs a positive real number, its absolute value. For example, the absolute value of −3 and the absolute value of 3 are both equal to 3.

  5. Absolute value (algebra) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Absolute_value_(algebra)

    The standard absolute value on the integers. The standard absolute value on the complex numbers.; The p-adic absolute value on the rational numbers.; If R is the field of rational functions over a field F and () is a fixed irreducible polynomial over F, then the following defines an absolute value on R: for () in R define | | to be , where () = () and ((), ()) = = ((), ()).

  6. Unary operation - Wikipedia

    Increases the value of a variable by 1: x = 2; ++x; // x is now 3: Decrement: −-Decreases the value of a variable by 1: y = 10; --y; // y is now 9: Unary Plus + Indicates a positive value: a = -5; b = +a; // b is -5: Unary Minus-Indicates a negative value: c = 4; d = -c; // d is -4: Logical NOT! Negates the truth value of a Boolean expression

  7. Ostrowski's theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ostrowski's_theorem

    The real absolute value on the rationals is the standard absolute ... In other words, the absolute value of a negative integer coincides with that of its opposite.

  8. Magnitude (mathematics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnitude_(mathematics)

    The absolute value of a real number r is defined by: [4] | | =, | | =, < Absolute value may also be thought of as the number's distance from zero on the real number line. For example, the absolute value of both 70 and −70 is 70.

  9. Sign function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sign_function

    Signum function = ⁡. In mathematics, the sign function or signum function (from signum, Latin for "sign") is a function that has the value −1, +1 or 0 according to whether the sign of a given real number is positive or negative, or the given number is itself zero.
