FABS

Absolute Value

Opcode Mnemonic Description
D9 E1 FABS Replace ST with its absolute value.
Description

Clears the sign bit of ST(0) to create the absolute value of the operand. The following table shows the results obtained when creating the absolute value of various classes of numbers.

Results Obtained from FABS

NOTE: F Means finite floating-point value.
Operation 
ST(0) = GetAbsoluteValue(ST(0));
