Python provides abs() and round() as built-in functions for two common numeric operations: computing absolute values and rounding to a specified number of decimal places.

abs()

Returns the absolute value of a number, which is its distance from zero on the number line.

print(abs(-5))

Output:

5

round()

Rounds floating point numbers.

print(round(3.14159,2))

Output:

3.14

Rounding to the Nearest Integer

print(round(5.7))
