the absolute value of <[i]> (also called the magnitude

of <[i]>).  That is, if <[i]> is negative, the result is the opposite

of <[i]>).  That is, if <[i]> is negative, the result is the opposite

of <[i]>, but if <[i]> is nonnegative the result is <[i]>.

of <[i]>, but if <[i]> is nonnegative the result is <[i]>.
