[R] negative number to positive number
Hello all, I know this is a pretty easy question but I can't find it in S poetry or R help. How can I make a negative number positive. Such as -5 to be +5 I tried +(-5), but that didn't work. So no, I don't mean taking a -5^2 just to get a positive number. This is in a function so it's not just -5 it's x. :) Thanks, Paul -- Research Technician Mass Spectrometry o The / o Scripps \ o Research / o Institute __ R-help@stat.math.ethz.ch mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
