1-6) Computes the absolute value of a floating point value
arg.
|
The functions with decimal floating point parameters are declared if and only the implementation predefines |
(since C23) |
7) Type-generic macro: If the argument has type _Decimal128, _Decimal64, _Decimal32, (since C23)long double, double, or float,
fabsd128, fabsd64, fabsd32, (since C23)fabsl, fabs, or fabsf is called, respectively. Otherwise, if the argument has integer type, fabs is called. Otherwise, if the argument is complex, then the macro invokes the corresponding complex function (cabsf, cabs, cabsl). Otherwise, the behavior is undefined.Parameters
| arg | - | floating point value |
| arith | - | floating point or integer value |
Return value
If successful, returns the absolute value of arg (|arg|). The value returned is exact and does not depend on any rounding modes.
Error handling
This function is not subject to any of the error conditions specified in math_errhandling.
If the implementation supports IEEE floating-point arithmetic (IEC 60559),
- If the argument is ±0, +0 is returned
- If the argument is ±∞, +∞ is returned
- If the argument is NaN, NaN is returned
Example
Run this code
#include <stdio.h> #include <math.h> #define PI 3.14159 /* This numerical integration assumes all area is positive. */ double integrate(double a, double b, /* assume a < b */ double f(double), unsigned steps) { /* assume steps > 0 */ const double dx = (b-a)/steps; double sum = 0.0; for (double x = a; x < b; x += dx) sum += fabs(f(x)); return dx*sum; } int main(void) { printf("fabs(+3) = %f\n", fabs(+3.0)); printf("fabs(-3) = %f\n", fabs(-3.0)); // special values printf("fabs(-0) = %f\n", fabs(-0.0)); printf("fabs(-Inf) = %f\n", fabs(-INFINITY)); printf("%f\n", integrate(-PI,+PI,sin,10*1000)); }
Output:
fabs(+3) = 3.000000 fabs(-3) = 3.000000 fabs(-0) = 0.000000 fabs(-Inf) = inf 4.000000
