How to type Norm

Write \| x \| inside math mode, that is between $…$ for inline math or in a \[ … \] or equation block for display math. It is part of core LaTeX math, so no extra package is required.

Write \| x \|; 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.
