C# Math Abs(Int16)

Description

Math Abs(Int16) returns the absolute value of a 16-bit signed integer.

Syntax

Math.Abs(Int16) has the following syntax.

public static short Abs(
  short value
)

Parameters

Math.Abs(Int16) has the following parameters.

• value - A number that is greater than Int16.MinValue, but less than or equal to Int16.MaxValue.

Returns

Math.Abs(Int16) method returns A 16-bit signed integer, x, such that 0 d x d Int16.MaxValue.

Example

The following example uses the Abs(Int16) method to get the absolute value of a number of Int16 values.

// w  w w  .  jav a 2  s.co  m
using System;

public class Example
{
   public static void Main()
   {
      short[] values = { Int16.MaxValue, 12345, 0, -1234, Int16.MinValue };
      foreach (short 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);
         }
      }
   }
}
