More information will be helpful. There's no need to add "using namespace std" here. You can try to modify "int a = abs(x);" ==> "int a = ::abs(x);"

#include <iostream>
#include <cstdlib>

using namespace std;

int main(){

    int x = -1;
    int a = fabs(x);

    cout<< a;

}

or


#include <iostream>
#include <stdlib.h>


int main() {

    int x = -1;
    int a = abs(x);

    std::cout << a;

}
