Function distance

Calculates the absolute difference between two numbers.

Example

// Calculate the distance between two points on a number line.
const point1 = 5;
const point2 = 8;
const result = distance(point1, point2);
// result is 3

// Calculate the absolute difference between two values.
const value1 = -10;
const value2 = 20;
const result2 = distance(value1, value2);
// result2 is 30
