<h2 id="Description" name="Description">Descripció</h2>

<p>Degut a que <code>abs()</code> és un mètode estàtic de <code>Math</code>, sempre s'utilitza com a <code>Math.abs()</code>, en comptes de com a mètode d'una instància de <code>Math</code> (<code>Math</code> no és un constructor).</p>

<h3 id="Example:_Math.abs_behavior" name="Example:_Math.abs_behavior">Exemple: Comportament de <code>Math.abs()</code></h3>

<p>Si li passem una string no numèric o bé una variable {{jsxref("undefined")}}/buida retorna {{jsxref("NaN")}}. Passar {{jsxref("null")}} retorna 0.</p>

<pre class="brush: js">Math.abs('-1');     // 1
Math.abs(-2);       // 2
Math.abs(null);     // 0
Math.abs('string'); // NaN
Math.abs();         // NaN
