imaxabs

imaxabs

---

Gives the absolute value of a number of the longest available integer type

 #include <inttypes.h> intmax_t imaxabs ( intmax_t n  ) 

The imaxabs( ) function is the same as either labs( ) or llabs( ), depending on how many bits wide the system's largest integer type is. Accordingly, the type intmax_t is the same as either long or long long.

Example

 intmax_t quantity1 = 9182734; intmax_t quantity2 = 1438756; printf( "The difference between the two quantities is %ji.\n",         imaxabs( quantity2 - quantity1 ));
