What is the difference between abs() and fabs() functions?

Both will return the absolute value of a number. The difference is that math.fabs(number) will always return a floating-point number even if the argument is an integer, whereas abs() will return a floating-point or an integer depending upon the argument. In case the argument is a complex number, abs() will return the magnitude part, whereas fabs() will return an error. To use the fabs() function we need to import the library “math” while the abs() function comes with the standard library of Python.

Both functions are to retrieve absolute value. abs() is for integer values and fabs() is for floating type numbers. Prototype for abs() is under the library file and fabs() is under .
