function template
<valarray>

std::abs

template<class T> valarray<T> abs (const valarray<T>& x);
Compute absolute value of valarray elements
Returns a valarray containing the absolute values of all the elements of x, in the same order.

The function calls abs (unqualified) for each element.

This function is overloaded in <cstdlib> for integral types (see cstdlib abs), in <cmath> for floating-point types (see cmath abs), and in <complex> for complex numbers (see complex abs).

Parameters

x
valarray containing elements of a type for which the unary function abs is defined.

Return value

A valarray object with the absolute values of the elements of x.

Output:
 foo: 5 3 -10 4 -7 bar: 5 3 10 4 7
