Absolute Difference Calculator

Formula

The formula to calculate the absolute difference is:

\[ \text{ABS D} = |X - Y| \]

Where:

\( \text{ABS D} \) is the absolute difference
\( X \) is any number or integer
\( Y \) is any number or integer

What is an Absolute Difference?

An absolute difference is a measure of the difference between two numbers but expressed as a positive number. In other words, it’s taking the difference between two values (X - Y) and then calculating the absolute value of the result.

Example Calculation

Let's assume the following values:

First Number (X) = 15
Second Number (Y) = 10

Using the formula:

\[ \text{ABS D} = |15 - 10| = 5 \]

The absolute difference (ABS D) is 5.
