How to convert Negative to positive vales (absolute values) in Mql5

New comment
 
Hi guys.
Im kinda new to coding EAs in Mql5. 
But i am trying to get the absolute values of variables, mainly my 'Loss'. I know that the MathAbs() function can solve the problem but i don't know how to execute it. 
Here is where i am at:
double Loss = (1 + total pips for loss) 
double MathAbs (
  double Loss
   ) ;

I know that me putting the loss there is wrong, but i really don't know how to go about getting the numeric value for this. 

Please help me out. 
Thank you in Advanced 🙏

double yourValue  = -500.24;
double yourAnswer = MathAbs(yourValue); 
Print("Answer " + DoubleToString(yourAnswer,2));
