I was given the following questions: Given a variable with unknown value int abs, write a probgram that will print out the absolute value of abs. Hint: negate a variable by multiplying it by -1. Ok. Thats it. I am very new to C# and programming overall. Having difficulty understanding the code and how it works. Can someone show me the code for this, and explain what it is doing? I have tried tutoring, online tutorails, and other stuff, but for some reason, I am just not getting it. Any help would be appreciated. --------------------  |

We would be glad to help you once you have shown us your code, but the general flow of the problem is as follows:
If the value of abs is less than zero, multiply by -1, else it is already the absolute value. Print out the value of abs. Do you know how to check the value of a variable? Do you know how to multiply a variable? Do you know how to print to the console? -------------------- |
