[Solved] Python what does abs do? I have tried looking at different pages for help, however i cannot understand the jargon [closed]

>>> help(abs)
Help on built-in function abs in module __builtin__:

abs(...)
    abs(number) -> number

    Return the absolute value of the argument.

Also the documentation

If the number passed to the function is negative, it returns the positive. If it is positive, it returns it unchanged.

Think of it as removing the - negative sign.

>>> abs(2)
2
>>> abs(-2)
2
>>>

1
