Calculates the absolute value of a number.
A number's absolute value is its distance from zero on the number line. -5 and 5 are both five units away from zero, so calling abs(-5) and abs(5) both return 5. The absolute value of a number is always positive.
abs() can also be used in shaders with p5.strands. The following example uses abs() to create a mirror effect on the color of a shape.
Examples
Syntax

Parameters
n
Number: number to compute.
Returns
Number: absolute value of given number.
