Input Parameters

Name	Type	Description
`n`	const MKL_INT	Specifies the number of elements to be calculated.
`a`	const _Float16* for `vhAbs` , `vmhAbs` const float* for `vsAbs` , `vmsAbs` const double* for `vdAbs` , `vmdAbs` const MKL_Complex8* for `vcAbs` , `vmcAbs` const MKL_Complex16* for `vzAbs` , `vmzAbs`	Pointer to an array that contains the input vector `a` .
`inca` , `incy`	const MKL_INT	Specifies increments for the elements of `a` and `y` .
`mode`	const MKL_INT64	Overrides global VM mode setting for this function call. See vmlSetMode (Sets a new mode for VM functions according to the mode parameter and stores the previous VM mode to oldmode.) for possible values and their description.

Output Parameters

Name	Type	Description
`y`	_Float16* for `vhAbs` , `vmhAbs` , `vcAbs` , `vmcAbs` float* for `vsAbs` , `vmsAbs` , `vcAbs` , `vmcAbs` double* for `vdAbs` , `vmdAbs` , `vzAbs` , `vmzAbs`	Pointer to an array that contains the output vector `y` .

Description

The v?Abs function computes an absolute value of vector elements.

Special Values for Real Function v?Abs(x)

Argument	Result	Exception
+0	+0
-0	+0
∞	∞
∞	∞
QNAN	QNAN
SNAN	QNAN	INVALID

Specifications for special values of the complex functions are defined according to the following formula

\(Abs(z) = Hypot(RE(z),IM(z))\) .
