C# Math Abs(SByte)

Description

Math Abs(SByte) returns the absolute value of an 8-bit signed integer.

Syntax

Math.Abs(SByte) has the following syntax.


[CLSCompliantAttribute(false)]
public static sbyte Abs(
  sbyte value
)

Parameters

Math.Abs(SByte) has the following parameters.

value - A number that is greater than SByte.MinValue, but less than or equal to SByte.MaxValue.

Returns

Math.Abs(SByte) method returns An 8-bit signed integer, x, such that 0 d x d SByte.MaxValue.

Example

The following example uses the Abs(SByte) method to get the absolute value of a number of SByte values.


//from  ww w.  jav a 2s  . c om
using System;

public class Example
{
    public static void Main()
    {
      sbyte[] values = { SByte.MaxValue, 97, 0, -32, SByte.MinValue };
      foreach (sbyte 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);
         }
      }
   }
}
