Why? Under what circumstances would you NOT want to use abs()? If I saw that function name I would be assuming there was an edge case that abs on its own didn't handle

Sorry, I missed to add that this was asked in a interview. abs() works fine.
So another answer would be to convert it to a string, replace "-" with "" and convert back to a number.
