abs() description

it seems that an entry or description for abs() is not present in the reference for non "A-Z" modes of 'abridged' and 'complete'.   I noticed this because I was looking for a Math.abs() equivalent (yeah I'm coming from actionscript...) and couldn't find it searching for "absolute value"...  (and was too lazy to make my own... yeah that's pretty lazy.)

I'm sure this is just a little thing-  just wanted to note it.  thanks!

great catch! thank you. there was a small typo keeping it from the index. will be fixed and online shortly.

also, if you want, you can use Math.abs(). it's a part of Java and therefore a part of Processing by default.

nice!  I didn't know that.  makes sense.  and I guess that explains why my program compiled (and Math.abs changed color as a keyword.)  I think it was 3am and I wasn't thinking straight.

thanks
