Understanding Absolute Difference

The absolute difference between two numbers is the absolute value of their difference. It represents the distance between two points on a number line and is always non-negative. This concept is crucial in statistics, data analysis, and measuring error or deviation between values.

Mathematical Definition

|A - B| = |B - A|
Always returns a positive value
Represents distance between two points

Properties

Commutative: |A - B| = |B - A|
Non-negative: |A - B| ≥ 0
Zero when A = B

Applications

Error analysis, data comparison, tolerance checking, statistical measures, and optimization problems.
