number = -2
if number < 0:
abs_value = -1 * number
elif number > 0:
abs_value = number
return abs_value
def abs(number):
if number < 0:
abs_value = -1 * number
elif number > 0:
abs_value = number
return abs_value
Demonstrate the function.
abs(-5)
abs(10)
And we can then combine this with loops to do the same thing repeatedly.
numbers = [1, 7, -2, -8, 23, 17, -42]
results = []
for item in numbers:
results.append([abs(item)])
print results
