The absolute value of a number is its distance from zero on a number line.
For example, the absolute value of 4 is 4 since it's 4 units from zero.
The absolute value of -4 is also 4 since its 4 units from zero.
Absolute value is always positive except for one situation when we have the absolute value of 0, which is 0.
