What term refers to an integer's distance from zero?

The term that refers to an integer's distance from zero is "absolute value." It is represented by vertical bars, such as |x|, where x is the integer. The absolute value of an integer is always a non-negative value, regardless of whether the integer itself is positive or negative. For example, the absolute value of -5 is 5, and the absolute value of 5 is also 5.
