Finding Absolute Values

 
package{
  import flash.display.Sprite;
  
  public class Main extends Sprite{
    public function Main(){
        var nValue:int = 10;
        
        if(nValue < 10 && nValue > -10) {
          // Code goes here.
        } 
        //can be rewritten in the following way using the abs() method: 
        if(Math.abs(nValue) < 10) {
          // Code goes here.
        }
    }
  }
}
