It's the positive value of a number, it removes the negative sign from any negative number leaving it positive.
Examples:
Absolute value of -4 is 4
Absolute value of -78 is 78
Absolute value of 0 is also 0

For real numbers, what Mo Hani said.
For complex number it is the distance between the position of the number on the complex plane and the origin.
For a complex number z = a + b*i, using Pythagorean's theorem we get the absolite value r = |a| = sqrt(a^2 + b^2).
Since real numbers are compelx numbers with b = 0, we get the formula |x| = sqrt(x^2) which is the number without the sign.

/
f(x)=|
\
-x , if x < 0

it simply means the positive value of any number, that is abs(7)=7 and abs(-7)=7
