abs()

which is faster, /prog/?

const int SIZE_OF_DOUBLE = sizeof(double) * 8;
double absoluteValue = (double)(bitset<SIZE_OF_DOUBLE>((unsigned long)value).set(SIZE_OF_DOUBLE - 1, 0).to_ulong());

VS.

double absoluteValue = abs(value);

OR

is there an easier way to unset a double-precision value's sign bit?

Ah, so this is how abs() works. It connects to >>1's servers, uploads the number, and then downloads the absolute value! Thank you, >>1, for providing a service to the millions of computer users around the world.
