using System;

public class Example
{
   public static void Main()
   {
      short[] values = { Int16.MaxValue, 12345, 0, -1234, Int16.MinValue };
      foreach (short value in values)
      {
         try {
            Console.WriteLine("Abs({0}) = {1}", value, Math.Abs(value));
         }   
         catch (OverflowException) {
            Console.WriteLine("Unable to calculate the absolute value of {0}.",
                              value);
