To evaluate the expression \(|y - z|\) for \(y = 42\) and \(z = -41\), we first need to compute \(y - z\):
\[
y - z = 42 - (-41)
\]
Subtracting a negative number is equivalent to addition, so:
\[
y - z = 42 + 41 = 83
\]
Next, we take the absolute value of the result:
\[
|y - z| = |83| = 83
\]
Thus, the final answer is:
\[
\boxed{83}
\]
