numpy.fabs — NumPy v1.11 Manual (original) (raw)
numpy.fabs(_x_[, _out_]) = <ufunc 'fabs'>¶
Compute the absolute values element-wise.
This function returns the absolute values (positive magnitude) of the data in x. Complex values are not handled, use absolute to find the absolute values of complex data.
| Parameters: | x : array_like The array of numbers for which the absolute values are required. If_x_ is a scalar, the result y will also be a scalar. out : ndarray, optional Array into which the output is placed. Its type is preserved and it must be of the right shape to hold the output. See doc.ufuncs. |
|---|---|
| Returns: | y : ndarray or scalar The absolute values of x, the returned values are always floats. |
