[Solved] abs function is not giving right answer in c++? [closed]

Question

Your condition is if(abs(a[i][j])>max), so it looks like you’re comparing the magnitude. On the next line, you assign max=a[i][j], which will store a negative number. The next iteration will replace this.

What you want to store is

max = abs(a[i][j]);
