The absolute value
zero is infact a number not a placeholder contrary to popular belief. many people may argue that zero is the bridge between the positives and the negatives upon the infinite number line. However Zero has a value just as any other number on the number line. zero has a value of zero. this is not an absess of value but the very much real value of zero. if a certain representation has a value on the number line it must therefore be a number. the socalled bridge between the positive and negative numbers is the line upon which all numbers of infinite value are settled.
this is also called the origin on that line. it is the point equidistant between -1 and +1.
The distance from zero on a number line is called the absolute value.
It represents the absence of a number
