Im doing a moving system for turtle and this code is to remove the minus to calcul the distance betwen the 2 coords

Well are you manually typing in a coord for X? Because its hard to get a variable into a number, make sure you are having the variable being converted into a number so it can do that equation.

because your supposed to do this:
disX=((x)^2)0.5

Could just do this:
disX = x^2 / 2

I mean to remove any minus coord to get the distance betwen the 2 x's coord.
disX = ((x^2)^0.5)
disX = ((x^2)^0.5)

To convert a number to a positive number, just use math.abs(num).
