I'm pretty sure | | makes the number opposite. @suyogsomavanshi do not give direct answers, it can lead to an instant suspension.

Actually, I'm pretty sure it makes it always positive.

absolute value of a negative number is equal to the positive value of that same number, for example. |-5| = 5 |-37| = 37 |-100| = 100 also, if you say |x|=4 then the solution for x would be ±4, because |4|=4 |-4|=4 see? nee more clarification ?
