abs(_:)
Returns the absolute value of the given number.
func abs<T>(_ x: T) -> T where T : Comparable, T : SignedNumeric
Parameters
- x
A signed number.
Returns
The absolute value of x
.
The absolute value of x
must be representable in the same type. In particular, the absolute value of a signed, fixed-width integer type’s minimum cannot be represented.
let x = Int8.min
// x == -128
let y = abs(x)
// Overflow error
