So, for example, the absolute value of 3 is 3, and the absolute value of – 3 is also 3.

For example an absolute value is also defined for the complex numbers, the quaternions, ordered rings, fields and vector spaces.

It is often useful to be able to compute the variance in a single pass, inspecting each value only once ; for example, when the data are being collected without enough storage to keep all the values, or when costs of memory access dominate those of computation.

As an example, the over operator can be accomplished by applying the following formula to each pixel value:

In the given example the array can contain 10 elements of any value available to the type.

As an example, if P is 90 %, then ( 1 − P ) is 10 %, and the problem can be sped up by a maximum of a factor of 10, no matter how large the value of N used.

The standard example is the stock of a company, undervalued in the stock market, which is about to be the object of a takeover bid ; the price of the takeover will more truly reflect the value of the company, giving a large profit to those who bought at the current price — if the merger goes through as predicted.

A charge-coupled device ( CCD ) is a device for the movement of electrical charge, usually from within the device to an area where the charge can be manipulated, for example conversion into a digital value.

For example, if the static compression ratio is 10: 1, and the dynamic compression ratio is 7. 5: 1, a useful value for cylinder pressure would be ( 7. 5 )^ 1. 3 × atmospheric pressure, or 13. 7 bar.

and this is its Cauchy principal value, which is zero, but we could also take ( 1 ) to mean, for example,

Some of the higher raw moments do exist and have a value of infinity, for example the raw second moment:

Building on the example of Jesus and Paul, first-century Christians placed less value on the family, and rather saw celibacy and freedom from family ties as a preferable state.

As an example, choose a point a and let f be the step function that returns a value, say 1, for all x less than a, and returns a different value, say 10, for all x greater than or equal to a. f cannot have a derivative at a.

In these terms, the `` economic withdrawal '' of the Negroes of Nashville, Tennessee, from trading in the center city, for example, was clearly justified, since these distinctions do not require that only people subjectively guilty be singled out.

For example, if an insider expects to retire after a specific period of time and, as part of his or her retirement planning, the insider has adopted a written binding plan to sell a specific amount of the company's stock every month for two years and later comes into possession of material nonpublic information about the company, trades based on the original plan might not constitute prohibited insider trading.

For example, illegal insider trading would occur if the chief executive officer of Company A learned ( prior to a public announcement ) that Company A will be taken over, and bought shares in Company A knowing that the share price would likely rise.

For example, if Company A's CEO did not trade on the undisclosed takeover news, but instead passed the information on to his brother-in-law who traded on it, illegal insider trading would still have occurred ( albeit by proxy by passing it on to a " non-insider " so Company A's CEO wouldn't get his hands dirty ).

For example, if a journalist who worked for Company B learned about the takeover of Company A while performing his work duties, and bought stock in Company A, illegal insider trading might still have occurred.

For example: if, while dining at a restaurant, you hear the CEO of Company A at the next table telling the CFO that the company's profits will be higher than expected, and then you buy the stock, you are not guilty of insider trading unless there was some closer connection between you, the company, or the company officers.
