float val = [mySignedNumber floatValue];

NSNumber* myAbsoluteNumber = [NSNumber numberWithFloat:fabsf( val )];

(note NSNumber is immutable so you can't change what it contains to remove the sign. You can create a new NSNumber with the absolute value however).

Hi folks,
Can anyone tell me the most efficient way to unsign a floatvalue in an NSNumber?

Like change a -1.47 to 1.47 ?

Thanks
