Function	Description	Input	Returns
ABS	Returns the absolute value of a number.	number - The number to take the absolute value of	The absolute value of the number passed in
BIN	Computes the bin that the value is in given a set of bounds	value -the value to bin bounds - A list of value bounds (excluding min and max) in sorted order	Which bin N the value falls in such that bound(N-1) < value <= bound(N). No min and max bounds are provided, so values smaller than the 0'th bound go in the 0'th bin, and values greater than the last bound go in the M'th bin.
