numpy.fabs¶

numpy.fabs(x,/,out=None,*,where=True,casting='same_kind',order='K',dtype=None,subok=True[,signature,extobj]) = <ufunc 'fabs'>¶

Compute the absolute values element-wise.

This function returns the absolute values (positive magnitude) of thedata inx. Complex values are not handled, useabsolute to find theabsolute values of complex data.

Parameters:

x : array_like The array of numbers for which the absolute values are required. Ifx is a scalar, the resulty will also be a scalar. out : ndarray, None, or tuple of ndarray and None, optional A location into which the result is stored. If provided, it must havea shape that the inputs broadcast to. If not provided orNone,a freshly-allocated array is returned. A tuple (possible only as akeyword argument) must have length equal to the number of outputs. where : array_like, optional Values of True indicate to calculate the ufunc at that position, valuesof False indicate to leave the value in the output alone. **kwargs For other keyword-only arguments, see theufunc docs.

Returns:

y : ndarray or scalar The absolute values ofx, the returned values are always floats.
