How to type Lvert Rvert

Write \lvert x \rvert inside math mode, that is between $…$ for inline math or in a \[ … \] or equation block for display math. This symbol needs the amsmath package, so add \usepackage{amsmath} to your preamble.

Write \lvert x \rvert; for delimiters that grow with their content wrap them in \left and \right, or pick a fixed size with \bigl and \bigr, often the better choice.
