abs()

The abs() function accepts a numeric or duration argument and returns the absolute value.

same()

same() accepts two arguments, of any type, and returns true if they are identical or false if not. Unlike the similar = operator or the eq() function, same() may be used to compare null values. For example, same(null, null) returns true.
