Converting Negative integer number into positive using if_abs

Question

After prompting a user to enter an integer and printing the absolute value of it, how do you convert a negative input integer into positive using if statements.

You can do this by writing `if number < 0: number *= -1` but that is the wrong way to do it. The correct way is just `number = abs(number)`. — BoarGules, Mar 13 '19 at 07:35

number is your integer input.

Code:

number = abs(number)

why even check `if number < 0`? – hiro protagonist Mar 13 '19 at 07:39
Ohh, really. `if` not needed here. Thanks, @hiroprotagonist – Dmitriy Kisil Mar 13 '19 at 07:56
