<h2 id="Description" name="Description">Descrição.</h2>

<p>Por <code>abs</code> ser um método estático de <code>Math</code>, você sempre o usará como <code>Math.abs() </code>ao ínves de usar como método de um objeto <code>Math</code> criado por você. (<code>Math</code> não é um construtor);</p>

<p>Passando um string não-numérica ou variável indefinida/vazia retorna <code>NaN</code>. Passando null retorna 0.</p>

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