Returns

Float — Absolute numeric value.

Behavior / side effects

Return absolute value.

Execution

  • Blocking: No
  • Thread safety: Use separate objects per flow
  • Parallel execution: Yes

Value operations execute in the calling flow without an intentional wait for capture, gesture completion, or user input. Create mutable containers/builders separately in each flow; this is isolation, not a shared-object synchronization guarantee.

Example

delta = abs(-12.5)
text(str(delta))

Errors / limitations

No additional limitations documented; follow the parameter and behavior contract above.
