|3|=3. The absolute value, or "modulus" operator, just removes the negative sign basically. It's actually defined by cases
|x|= { if x>0 then x
{ if x<0 then -x
Don't confuse this with cardinality from set theory.
NOTE: in the second case x is negative, for example -2, so multiplying it by a negative gives a positive, same example -(-2) = 2.
