Yes, yes you can. But instead of +, you use -. Negative negative = positive.

local negativeNumber = -5
print(negativeNumber) -- console: -5
print(-negativeNumber) -- console: 5

additionally you can use math.abs if you are only expecting positive values. Feedekaiser 25 — 4y

A better way to answer this is math.abs. The function always returns a positive number, regardless of wether the input is positive or negative. If you know basic math, this is just an absolute value function.
