basically i need something like abs(x)+abs(y) in my code, like |x|+|y|
to divide a certain vector/x y values i have
but i dont wanna use || or abs or sign, log,exp, so on,(even >< or >=!) only +-/ to model a similar amount
like x+y, but x+y will cause 0 when x is +2 and y is -2, and i need x+y=0 when x,y is 0,0 because of reasons,
so, it basically an |x|+|y| but built some other way simpler.
how do i do that?
Has anyone really been far even as decided to use even go want to do look more like?
pseudocode that works:
function easyAbsolute(x,y):
if x<0: x=x+(-x)+(-x)
if y<0: y=y+(-y)+(-y)
return x+y
easyAbsolute(x=5,y=-2)
# returns 5+2=7
easyAbsolute(x=-10,y=-5)
# returns 10+5=15
easyAbsolute(x=5,y=7)
# returns 5+7=12
easyAbsolute(x=0,y=0)
# returns 0+0=0
why not...
if x < 0: x = 0 - x
