  You're a bit wrong - a positive number is Positive, Natural also includes 0 which is not a positive number :)

  https://nim-lang.org/docs/system.html#abs%2Cfloat64 An absolute number is the distance of a number from 0. 0 is 0, 1 is 1, -1 is 1. abs is often used to make all numbers positive.

  abs in nim uses float``s not ``int and uint can accept 0.
