Just return the absolute value of a numeric value ( only positive values acepted) : Sample from official doc // The example displays the following output: // Abs(79228162514264337593543950335) = 79228162514264337593543950335 // Abs(12.45) = 12.45 // Abs(0) = 0 // Abs(-19.69) = 19.69 // Abs(-79228162514264337593543950335) = 79228162514264337593543950335

// The following loop will work right, no matter if num > 0, or num < 0 int num = -5; for (int i = 0; i < Math.Abs(num); i++) { Console.WriteLine(i); }

Math.Abs() will generate the absolute value of a given term. In mathematics, absolute value is the non-negative value of a number without regard to its sign. In simple terms, how far the number is from zero, regardless of the directions. Thus, -5 and 5 and 5 away from 0. Therefore, their absolute value is 5.
