Hello,
Which operator is used to give the numerical value (without sign) of an integer?
(e.g. +6 returns as 6, -6 returns as 6)

Abs  (Absolute)

From the OLR:

Dim d as Double
d=Abs (23.9) //returns 23.9
d=Abs(-23.9) //returns 23.9

To add to what I said:

It's the Abs Function which isn't an operator. This has to do with the syntax in how it's called.

You could also replace d As Double with d As Integer if you wish to ignore the fractional part.
The result in the example would be 23 instead of 23.9.
