Vertical bars denote the absolute value only for algebraic objects for which the notion of an absolute value is defined, notably an element of a normed division algebra, for example a real number, a complex number, or a quaternion.
The vertical bar is used as a mathematical symbol in numerous ways. If used as a pair of brackets, it suggests the notion of the word "size". These are: absolute value: | |, read "the absolute value of x" [2] cardinality: | |, read "the cardinality of the set S" or "the length of a string S"
The standard absolute value on the integers. The standard absolute value on the complex numbers.; The p-adic absolute value on the rational numbers.; If R is the field of rational functions over a field F and () is a fixed irreducible polynomial over F, then the following defines an absolute value on R: for () in R define | | to be , where () = () and ((), ()) = = ((), ()).
The norm of a vector is represented with double bars on both sides of the vector. The norm of a vector v can be represented as: ‖ ‖ The norm is also sometimes represented with single bars, like | |, but this can be confused with absolute value (which is a type of norm).
Here, and in the rest of the article, the absolute value bars denote the standard (Euclidean) norm of a vector. The function f is called the integrand, the curve C {\displaystyle {\mathcal {C}}} is the domain of integration, and the symbol ds may be intuitively interpreted as an elementary arc length of the curve C {\displaystyle {\mathcal {C ...
When two sets, and , have the same cardinality, it is usually written as | | = | |; however, if referring to the cardinal number of an individual set , it is simply denoted | |, with a vertical bar on each side; [3] this is the same notation as absolute value, and the meaning depends on context.

The bar is a metric unit of pressure defined as 100,000 Pa (100 kPa), though not part of the International System of Units (SI). A pressure of 1 bar is slightly less than the current average atmospheric pressure on Earth at sea level (approximately 1.013 bar).
