Abbreviation for absolute value, usually meaning the length of a vector, be it a one-dimentional number, a two-dimentional complex number, or any n-dimentional vector. The absolute value of the vector v is written abs(v) or |v|. Some examples:

abs(-42) = 42
abs(3.14) = 3.14
|(3,4i)| = sqrt(3² + 4²) = sqrt(25) = 5
abs((5,8,2,1)) = sqrt(5² + 8² + 2² + 1²) = sqrt(94) = 9.695359...
