Absolute value describes the distance of a number on the number line from 0 without considering which direction from zero the number lies. The absolute value of a number is never negative. The absolute value of 5 is 5.

Absolute value is the magnitude, the sign is ignored.

Absolute value of x is denoted by |x|

|4| = 4

|-4| = 4
