To calculate the absolute value of a number, you simply take the number without considering its sign.
For example, if you want to find the absolute value of -5, you would write it as | -5 |, which equals 5.
Another example, if you want to find the absolute value of 8, you would write it as | 8 |, which equals 8.
In both cases, you ignore the negative sign when finding the absolute value.
