EntityFunctions absolute value

Question

I am using EntityFunctions class in my LINQ query as:

var a = dbContext.Where(x=>EntityFunctions.DiffMinutes(dateA,dateB)<1)

However I want an absolute value of the difference, so that I do not have to worry which date is greater.

Can anyone suggest how to do it.

Try:

var a = dbContext.Where(x =>  Math.Abs(EntityFunctions.DiffMinutes(dateA,dateB)) < 1);
