Re: [pygame] Negative number positive



If you want something that converts negative numbers to positive numbers, but leaves positive number alone, use the *abs()* function.

a = abs(b)

If you want something that has the effect of multiplying by -1, just use the - operator.

a = -b

Hello

Erm, not a Pygame 1.8 question but just cant find the the needed function: I would like to make a negative number to a positive number, like -5 -> 5

Quite easy, just cant find the Python function (if there is one). Sure I could multiply the negative value by -1 but I would prefer using the convention function. Is there one and what is it called?

Thanks in advance
