General description

The fabs() functions calculate the absolute value of a decimal floating-point argument.

Notes:

To use IEEE decimal floating-point, the hardware must have the Decimal Floating-Point Facility installed.
These functions work in IEEE decimal floating-point format. See IEEE binary floating-point for more information

Returned value

Returns the absolute value of the decimal floating-point input.

Example

⁄* CELEBF75

   This example illustrates the fabsd128() function.

*⁄

#define  __STDC_WANT_DEC_FP__
#include <math.h>
#include <stdio.h>

int main(void)
{
  _Decimal128 x, y;

  x = -5.6798DL;
  y = fabsd128(x);

  printf("fabsd128(%DDf) = %DDf\n", x, y);
}
