The abs() function returns the absolute value of an argument n.
For the integer version of abs(), the minimum allowable integer
is INT_MIN+1. (INT_MIN is a macro that is defined
in the limits.h header file.) For example, with the Metal
C compiler, INT_MIN+1 is -2147483647.
Returned value
The returned value is the absolute value, if the absolute value is possible to represent.
Otherwise the input value is returned.
