public class MainClass {

 public static void main(String args[]) {
   int i, k;
  
   i = 10;
   k = i < 0 ? -i : i; // get absolute value of i
   System.out.print("Absolute value of ");
   System.out.println(i + " is " + k);

   k = i < 0 ? -i : i; // get absolute value of i
   System.out.print("Absolute value of ");
