sumabs(A, dims)
sumabs(A, dims)
Sum absolute values of elements of an array over the given dimensions.
Examples
Sum the absolute values of elements in an array:
julia> arr = [-2, 4, -6, 8];
julia> sumabs(arr)
20This example calculates the sum of the absolute values of all elements in the array arr.
Sum the absolute values of elements in a range:
julia> rng = -5:5;
julia> sumabs(rng)
30It calculates the sum of the absolute values of all elements in the range -5:5.
Sum the absolute values of elements in a vector of complex numbers:
julia> complex_nums = [2 + 3im, -4 - 5im, 6 + 7im];
julia> sumabs(complex_nums)
29.0This example calculates the sum of the absolute values of all elements in the vector of complex numbers.
Common mistake example:
julia> str = "Hello, Julia!";
julia> sumabs(str)
ERROR: MethodError: no method matching abs(::String)In this example, the sumabs function cannot handle elements of type String since the abs function is not defined for strings. Ensure that the elements in the collection are of a type for which the abs function is defined.
