In R, How to count the total number of items in a vector greater than the absolute value of 1

Question

I want to count the total number of items in a vector greater than (>) the absolute value of 1.

vec <- c(5,3,-7,0,0,0,-1,0,3,1,-3,4,7)

the result should exclude 0, 1 and -1 in the count and return the total count of 7

attempt

sum(vec >abs(1))
# this returns '5' instead of '7'

Thanks

Answer 1

The abs should be on the 'vec' and not on 1

sum(abs(vec) > 1)
[1] 7
