The abs function does something different.

Anyway, I found a soloution...
< set{floorx}to(< round(x) >) >
< if>< (  floorx < > > x  ) >
< change{floorx}by(-1) >
< end>

GAH!!! Complicated Maths!!!!!! 

Not really, he is just trying to replicate a Math method that are part of most programming languages. Here is a list of math methods.

Math.PI   calls the number that is the circumference of a circle (That number is 3.14159265) that is known as PI

Math.ceil   rounds a number up

Math.floor  rounds a number down

Math.round  rounds a number up if it's decimal value is greater or equal to 0.5 otherwise it's rounded down

Math.abs   if a number is negative this math method will make it positive 

Math.sqrt  finds the square root of a number

Math.pow(x,y)  x is raised by the power of y

Math.max finds the maximum of 2 numbers

Math.min finds the minimum of 2 numbers

Math.random generates a random number from 0 to 0.9999....

//Trigonometry math functions
Math.sin  Calls the sin function

Math.cos  calls the cosine function

Math.tan calls the tangent function


There are also a few more math functions that exist.

Math.abs, Math.sqrt, Math.pow, Math.tan and Math.sin sound wrong....

How do they sound wrong? I don't see what you mean.

When you say them out loud, they do. Like, what if math had abs?! Or math got a tan?! Or math squirted stuff?!

Yea, programming languages like to use shorter words instead of saying the entire word like absolute or tangent or square root.

To print in a line of text in java you would say println instead of printline
