Actionscript:
-
// this one-liner is good to know:
-
// Math.max(minValue, Math.min(maxValue, valueToClamp));
-
-
// wrapped in a function it looks like this:
-
const MIN:Number = 0;
-
const MAX:Number = 100;
-
-
function clamp(val:Number, min:Number = MIN, max:Number = MAX){
-
return Math.max(min, Math.min(max, val))
-
}
-
-
for (var i:int = 0; i<1000; i++){
-
var val:Number = Math.random()*1000 - 500;
-
// clamp the above random value between -100 and +100
-
trace(clamp(val, -100, 100));
-
}
Although I show a function implementation above, I use this technique inline a good deal. If there is some value that I need to clamp I'll often just "max min it":
Actionscript:
-
var val:Number = Math.random()*1000;
-
// clamp it - 0-100
-
trace(Math.max(0, Math.min(100, val));
