![The Absolute Node.](https://4267723012-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FOEts3pBau6LMamSYhGZp%2Fuploads%2Fgit-blob-0abe9fb6a67c1628110d2b9f3bdf56de50eb78ad%2Fnode-absolute2.png?alt=media)

**Absolute** takes a single numerical value and converts any negative value (per component) to its absolute/non-negative equivalent.

[**Scope**](https://docs.incari.com/incari-studio/2022.2/overview#scopes): **Project**, **Scene**, **Function**, **Prefab**.

| ----------- | ------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `Data Type` | **Drop-down** | The type of data that will be plugged into the `Input` **Socket** and will return via its `Output` **Socket**. |

## Inputs

| Input             | Type                                          | Description                                                           |
| ----------------- | --------------------------------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| *Pulse Input* (►) | **Pulse**                                     | A standard input **Pulse**, to trigger the execution of the **Node**. |
| `Input`           | *Defined in the `Data Type`* ***Attribute***. | The value to be converted to its non-negative equivalent.             |

## Outputs

| Output             | Type                                          | Description                                                                                                                            |

| *Pulse Output* (►) | **Pulse**                                     | A standard output **Pulse**, to move onto the next **Node** along the **Logic Branch**, once this **Node** has finished its execution. |
| `Output`           | *Defined in the `Data Type`* ***Attribute***. | The non-negative equivalent of `Input`.                                                                                                |
