llAbs returns the distance of the integer val from 0. This function will be useful if the result of an operation or function is not guaranteed to be a positive integer or negative integer.
llFabs is the equivalent function to use when the result of an operation or function is known to be always or occasionally a float, although the result of such an operation or function could be typecast to an integer
Examples
llAbs(-5); //returns
llAbs(3); // returns 3
llAbs((integer)-7.99); //returns 7
