Returns the absolute value of an {@code int} value.
If the argument is not negative, the argument is returned.
If the argument is negative, the negation of the argument is returned.
<p>Note that if the argument is equal to the value of
{@link Integer#MIN_VALUE}, the most negative representable
{@code int} value, the result is that same value, which is
negative.
@param a the argument whose absolute value is to be determined
@return the absolute value of the argument.
