ABSS Function
Generates the absolute (positive) numeric values of the elements in a dynamic array.
Syntax
ABSS(dynArray)
Syntax Elements
dynArray A DataBasic expression that evaluates to a dynamic array.
Return Value
A dynamic array with the same structure as dynArray, but with each numeric value replaced by its absolute value.
Notes
-
Null elements remain null.
-
Non-numeric elements are treated as 0 and a run-time error is generated (see Strings in Arithmetic Expressions).
Example
ARY = 1.5:@AM:-2.5:@AM:3.5:@AM:"Fred":@VM:-7:@SVM:-20 NEWARY = ABSS(ARY)
Sets NEWARY to "1.5AM2.5AM3.5AM0VM7SVM20" and, because of the non-numeric element "Fred", generates run-time error B16.
