I tried to use abs(-5) but it gives me an array of 107.1957 109.9616 103.5453 109.7126 103.4645 and not 5?

abs(-5)
ans = 5
Please show us the complete output of this command:
which abs -all

Most probably, you have a function handle or function in your MATLAB path with the name abs(). Try following.
First, run
clear abs
and then run your code, if error persist, then run
which abs
If it gives a path to a user-defined file, change its name.
