#absoluteValue

Return the absolute value.

#Human Summary

Use it when only magnitude matters and the sign should be positive.

#AI Contract

#Signature

absoluteValue(): ArithInstance;

#Parameters

#Returns

Returns a new Arith instance. The receiver is not modified.

#Behavior

• Negative finite values become positive.
• Positive, zero, infinity, and NaN values keep their numeric category.
• The receiver is not mutated.

#Examples

import { Arith } from "@teakit/arith";

new Arith("-12.5").absoluteValue().toString(); // "12.5"

#Errors

• Does not take user arguments; no argument validation is performed.

#Agent Notes

• Import from @teakit/arith; prefer import { Arith } from "@teakit/arith".
• Use new Arith(...) to construct values. Do not generate Arith(...) as a function call.
• Use string inputs for exact decimal values, especially money-like values.
• Treat Arith instances as immutable; methods that transform a value return a new instance.
• Do not mutate internal fields such as c, e, s, or _isArith.
