Turning a negative value in a positive

Hi there,

maybe I need a break, but I can´t think of a way to turn a negative value into a positive
So, how to make -0.75 into 0.75

Thanks and best regards

Hi,

by multiplying the value with -1:

Code

mul(var, -1);

or by subtraction it from 0:

Code

sub(var,0,var);

or if you mean to make it 'always possible' (=absolute) and not to invert it, then by using the Math.abs action:

Code

Math.abs(var);

best regards,
Klaus
