convert negative int to positive

Hello,

how can I convert a variable from negative to positive.

Ideally I just want to show the value in positive but would also like to know how can I make the variable stored as positive.

Thanks !

Multiply it by -1?

Code:

---

int negative= ...
int positive= -negative;

---

kind regards,

Jos

Thanks all worked fine

Beware that the value Integer.MIN_VALUE doesn't have a postive counterpart in the int domain, but that's how binary twos-complements work ...

kind regards,
