Python is a versatile programming language that offers many built-in functions to make coding tasks easier. One commonly used function is the **abs()** function, which calculates the absolute value of a number. In mathematics, the absolute value of a number is its distance from zero, regardless of whether it is positive or negative. <\/p>\n

Here’s how you can code the absolute value in Python:<\/p>\n

“`python
\nnum = -5
\nabs_num = abs(num)
\nprint(abs_num)
\n“`<\/p>\n

In this example, we have assigned the value -5 to the variable “num”. By using the **abs()** function, we calculate the absolute value of “num” and store it in the variable “abs_num”. Finally, we print the absolute value, which is 5.<\/p>\n
