# iterAbs
> Create an [iterator][mdn-iterator-protocol] which iteratively computes the [absolute value][@stdlib/math/base/special/abs].
## Usage
```javascript
var iterAbs = require( '@stdlib/math/iter/special/abs' );
```
#### iterAbs( iterator )
Returns an [iterator][mdn-iterator-protocol] which iteratively computes the [absolute value][@stdlib/math/base/special/abs].
```javascript
var array2iterator = require( '@stdlib/array/to-iterator' );
var it = iterAbs( array2iterator( [ -1, 2, -3 ] ) );
// returns
## Notes
- If an iterated value is non-numeric (including `NaN`), the returned [iterator][mdn-iterator-protocol] returns `NaN`. If non-numeric iterated values are possible, you are advised to provide an [`iterator`][mdn-iterator-protocol] which type checks and handles non-numeric values accordingly.
- If an environment supports `Symbol.iterator` **and** a provided [iterator][mdn-iterator-protocol] is iterable, the returned [iterator][mdn-iterator-protocol] is iterable.
## Examples
```javascript
var randu = require( '@stdlib/random/iter/randu' );
var iterAdd = require( '@stdlib/math/iter/ops/add' );
var iterAbs = require( '@stdlib/math/iter/special/abs' );
// Create a seeded iterator for generating pseudorandom numbers:
var rand = randu({
'seed': 1234,
'iter': 10
});
// Create an iterator which consumes the pseudorandom number iterator:
var it = iterAbs( iterAdd( rand, -0.5 ) );
// Perform manual iteration...
var r;
while ( true ) {
r = it.next();
if ( r.done ) {
break;
}
console.log( r.value );
}
