How to calculate the element-wise absolute value of NumPy array?

Let's see the program for finding the element-wise absolute value of NumPy array. For doing this task we are using numpy.absolute() function of NumPy library. This mathematical function helps to calculate the absolute value of each element in the array.

Syntax: numpy.absolute(arr, out = None, ufunc ‘absolute’)

Return: An array with absolute value of each element.

Let's see an example:

Example 1: Element-wise absolute value of 1d-array.

Output:

Given array:
[ 1 -2 3]
Absolute array:
[1 2 3]

Example 2: Element-wise absolute value of 2d-array.

Output:

Given array:
[[ 1 -2 3]
[-4 5 -6]]
Absolute array:
[[1 2 3]
[4 5 6]]

Example 3: Element-wise absolute value of 3d-array.

Output:

Given array:
[[[ 1. -2. 3. ]
 [ -4. 5. -6. ]]

[[ -7.5 -8.22 9. ]
 [ 10. 11.5 -12.5 ]]]
Absolute array:
[[[ 1. 2. 3. ]
 [ 4. 5. 6. ]]

[[ 7.5 8.22 9. ]
 [10. 11.5 12.5 ]]]
