prerequisite : BigInteger Basics The java.math.BigInteger.abs() method returns absolute value of a BigInteger. By using this method one can find absolute value of any large size of numerical data stored as BigInteger. Syntax:
public BigInteger abs()
Parameters: The method does not take any parameters. Return Value: The method returns the absolute value of a BigInteger. Examples:
 Input: -2300 Output: 2300 Explanation: Applying mathematical abs() operation on -2300, positive 2300 is obtained i.e |-2300| = 2300. Input: -5482549 Output: 5482549 
Below program illustrates abs() method of BigInteger: Java
// Below program illustrates the abs() method // of BigInteger  import java.math.*; public class GFG { public static void main(String[] args) {  // Create BigInteger object  BigInteger biginteger=new BigInteger("-2300");    // abs() method on bigInteger to find the absolute value  // of a BigInteger  BigInteger absolutevalue= biginteger.abs();    // Define result  String result ="BigInteger "+biginteger+  " and Absolute value is "+absolutevalue;  // Print result   System.out.println(result);    } } 
Output:
 BigInteger -2300 and Absolute value is 2300
