Negative Float Into Positive

[Cero.Uno]

I have an enquiry, I have a float datatype that may or may not have a negative value assigned. Should the value within the float has a minus sign before the numeric value, can I remove that minus sign and if so how...

I'm a little unsure whether I need to declare new signed data types since with my program should the value is negative then I can simply switch the direction in terms of longitude and latitudes.

-24.352745'E for example can be printed 24.352745'W without the minus sign. Can a float be printed losing the minus sign?
