use of modulus in matlab

hello, i am trying two build a code in which i am using a formula which has difference between two quantities , but sometimes the difference between two can lead to a negative integer and i want to make it positive always as the output (like a modulus functon which when used returns non negative integres)

how can i do this in matlab"??

like can i use as .... X = | X2 -Y2 | ?

Please refer to the matlab documentation in your version of the software and search for: "abs". Alternatively refer to:
