Abs
Math
The Value Abs node takes in a value and returns a value without its sign. Although, it would be truly impossible to have no sign on a value when it needs to be represented and stored in a computer device (and also mathematically sound), so it returns as a positive number (no matter what is provided as a value).
You can think of using this node as "the distance from 0".
