The positive value of it.
Example:
-1, absolute value= 1
-85, absolute value= 85
90, absolute value= 90

The absolute value of an integer is the distance of the integer away from zero.
Example The absolute value of 5 is 5. The absolute value of -5 is also 5.

The absolute value of an integer is the distance of the integer from zero.
The absolute value of -4 is 4. The distance is 4 numbers away from 0.
The absolute value of -10 is 10. The distance is 10 numbers away from 0.
The absolute value of 6 is 6. The distance is 6 numbers away from 0.
etc.
It's always the positive form of the integer, basically

The absolute value of an integer is its distance from zero on a number line. For example, (-5) is 5 units away from zero, so (-5) has an absolute value of 5. Moreover, the numer 5 has the same absolute value as (-5) for they are both the same distance away from zero.

Sigh, by no ability have confidence frequently used opinion the two surprising solutions have been given thumbs down! 0 is an integer easily the value of 0 is.... 0 0 isn't useful so easily the value of an integer would not ought to be useful, it may additionally be 0 edit: incorrect-o, Jos J -- 0 isn't useful useful numbers are greater beneficial than 0 adverse numbers are below 0 and 0 is comparable to 0, and neither useful nor adverse

Absolute value makes no account of positive or negative values. Absolute value of -10 is 10.

The absolute value of an integer is its magnitude, irrespective of its sign. Or, you could say, how far it lies from zero on a number line.
So, for a >0, |a| = a, and for a<0 |a| = -a

if you take an integer and square it
then find the positive square root of it that is the absolute value of an integer (basically it is the amount rather than the sign +/- that counts)

the technical definition is that absolute value is the distance of that point from zero on a number line.
in normal terms, the absolute value is the number in question, with negative turned to positive and positive remaining positive

the positive value of it so say you have -31. the absolute value of -31 is just plain 31. so the absolute value of 90 or -90 is still going to be 90
