absDiff

Returns the absolute difference between two numbers.

For the real difference — i.e. the value with its sign — use diff instead.

Parameters

X (number)
The number to subtract from.
Y (number)
The number to subtract.

Examples

ATL in Script	Result
`[[absDiff(9, 7)]]`	2
`[[absDiff(7, 9)]]`	2
`[[absDiff(-9, 7)]]`	16
`[[absDiff(9, -7)]]`	16
`[[absDiff(-9, -7)]]`	2

Note

This is a convenience function with the same effect as [[abs(diff(value1, value2))]].
