It takes an array as input (`this: input`) and returns a new array. The function operates element-wise, transforming negative values to their positive counterparts while leaving non-negative values unchanged. Examples show its use in JavaScript and Python, demonstrating its application to one-dimensional and two-dimensional arrays. In both cases it is used by the `.abs()` at the end of the array.\n"],null,["# ee.Array.abs\n\nOn an element-wise basis, computes the absolute value of the input.\n\n\u003cbr /\u003e\n\n| Usage | Returns |\n|---------------|---------|\n| Array.abs`()` | Array |\n\n| Argument | Type | Details |\n|---------------|-------|------------------|\n| this: `input` | Array | The input array. |\n\nExamples\n--------\n\n### Code Editor (JavaScript)\n\n```javascript\nprint(ee.Array([-1]).abs()); // [1]\nprint(ee.Array([-2, 0, 2]).abs()); // [2,0,2]\nprint(ee.Array([[-3.1, -2], [-1, 0]]).abs()); // [[3.1,2],[1,0]]\n```\nPython setup\n\nSee the [Python Environment](/earth-engine/guides/python_install) page for information on the Python API and using\n`geemap` for interactive development. \n\n```python\nimport ee\nimport geemap.core as geemap\n```\n\n### Colab (Python)\n\n```python\ndisplay(ee.Array([-1]).abs()) # [1]\ndisplay(ee.Array([-2, 0, 2]).abs()) # [2, 0, 2]\ndisplay(ee.Array([[-3.1, -2], [-1, 0]]).abs()) # [[3.1, 2], [1, 0]]\n```"]]
