Magnitude (|), or Absolute Value, is a monadic scalar function which gives the absolute value of a real or complex number. Magnitude shares the glyph | with the dyadic arithmetic function Residue.

Examples

      |0 1 2 ¯1 ¯2
0 1 2 1 2
 
      |0J2 ¯3J¯4
2 5

Properties

The magnitude of any number is a non-negative real number.

For real numbers, the magnitude equals the original number times (or divided by, for non-zero numbers) its sign. 

      v←0 1E¯100 20 1E300 ¯1E¯100 ¯20 ¯1E300
      (|v)≡v××v

      (|v)=v÷×v
0 1 1 1 1 1 1

For complex numbers, the magnitude is defined as the Euclidean distance from the number 0 on the complex plane. 

      Dist←{0.5*⍨+.×⍨9 11○⍵} ⍝ Square root of square sum of real and imaginary parts
      Dist¨ 0 1J2 ¯3J4

      |0 1J2 ¯3J4

Works in: Dyalog APL

Any real or complex number is equal to the product of its signum and magnitude.
