Is there a shorter way of dong this

Question

I am not supposed to get a negative number in the end is there a way to make it so if I get a negative number it changes it to positive?

Instead of writing if (agemonth == -1) { cout << 1} for every number?

Answer 1

if(agemonth < 0)
cout << -agemonth;

Answer 2

Just use unsigned int.

Answer 3

Jay Matthews I am not sure but somewhere I read that mod with negative is implementation defined and hence it behaves differently for different compiler... No offense but want to make this understanding clear for me..
