It means the distance from zero. | 22 | (the absolute value of 22) is 22; | -22 | (the absolute value of -22) is also 22.

Basically just take out the negative, and that is the absolute value.

The absolute value of a number is a measure of how far it is from the origin (0). A distance is always positive so the absolute value of -22 is 22 (it is 22 units away from 0) and the absolute value of +22 is also 22.
