How do I change a negative number to positive in JavaScript?

To convert a negative number to a positive one in JavaScript, use the abs() method in JavaScript. The method returns the absolute value of a number.

How do you turn a negative into a positive?

All you have to do just multiply a negative value with -1 and it will return the positive number instead of the negative.

What about x *= -1? I like its simplicity.
