The grammar is structured in the following way:

ABS(number)

Explanation of Parameters:

  1. Number: the numerical value for which the absolute value is to be calculated.

Assuming there is a table named “numbers” with a column num storing a group of numbers. We can use the ABS function to calculate the absolute value of each number in the num column.

SELECT num, ABS(num) AS absolute_value
FROM numbers;

This query will return a result set consisting of the original values in the column “num” and a column for their absolute values.
