Taking the Absolute Value (a = abs[b])

Takes the absolute value of b and assigns it to the variable a.

Example:

(THE ABSOLUTE VALUE OF -5 IS TAKEN AND LOADED INTO #0)

G65 L22 P#0 Q-5

(THE ABSOLUTE VALUE OF VARIABLE #1 IS TAKEN)

(AND LOADED INTO #0)

G65 L22 P#0 Q#1

Example:

(THE ABSOLUTE VALUE OF -5 IS TAKEN AND LOADED INTO #0)

#0 = ABS[-5]

(THE ABSOLUTE VALUE OF VARIABLE #1 IS TAKEN)

(AND LOADED INTO #0)

#0 = ABS[#1]
