Yes, every integer has an absolute value. In fact, so do all real numbers, and even so do all complex numbers (in a similar but slightly different way).

The absolute value of a number is the distance from it to zero. For example, the absolute value of -2 is 2 because -2 is two units away from zero on the number line.

In a more concrete expression, the absolute value of a number x (written as |x|), is given by:

x, if x is greater than or equal to 0.

-x, if x is less than zero.
