Negative Number to Positive Number without using abs() - asked in a interview

In JavaScript, we have a method called absolute - abs() to convert a negative number into positive number.

Usage - Math.abs(-7);

Now, we will see how we can perform the same operation without using the built-in absolute method,

const negativeToPositive = num =>{
  if(num < 0){
    return num * -1;
  }
  return num;
}

console.log(negativeToPositive(-8));

Here we have written a function which based on the input number given, converts the negative number input to positive and for positive number input, it just returns the number.

Hope this was helpful😊.
