abs

Problem

You need the absolute value of a number in a typed utility context — for example normalising signed offsets or distances.

Solution

Use abs(value) to return the non-negative magnitude.

import { abs } from '@vielzeug/arsenal';

abs(-5); // 5
abs(3.7); // 3.7
abs(0); // 0

Pitfalls

• Equivalent to Math.abs — provided for consistency in functional pipelines.
