This **Node** can be used to get an *absolute* value, ie: the non-negative value of the input without regard to its sign. You can specify the value to get the absolute value of, or you can supply one [Node Inputs](#input), and the node will output the absolute value. When specifying a value, you can input it directly to the node input box, or you can input it through the [Inspector](../menus/#h5) window:
