C# Math - Clamp() Method

The C# Clamp() method returns the value clamped to the inclusive range of min and max. The method returns the following:

If min ≤ value ≤ max, the method returns value.
If value < min, the method returns min.
If value > max, the method returns max.

Syntax

public static ulong Clamp (ulong value, ulong min, ulong max);
public static uint Clamp (uint value, uint min, uint max);
public static ushort Clamp (ushort value, ushort min, ushort max);
public static float Clamp (float value, float min, float max);
public static sbyte Clamp (sbyte value, sbyte min, sbyte max);
public static long Clamp (long value, long min, long max);
public static int Clamp (int value, int min, int max);
public static short Clamp (short value, short min, short max);
public static double Clamp (double value, double min, double max);
public static decimal Clamp (decimal value, decimal min, decimal max);
public static byte Clamp (byte value, byte min, byte max);

Parameters

`value`	Specify the value to be clamped.
`min`	Specify the lower bound of the result.
`max`	Specify the upper bound of the result.

Return Value

Returns the value clamped to the inclusive range of min and max.

Example:

In the example below, Clamp() method returns the value clamped to the inclusive range of min and max.

using System;

class MyProgram {
  static void Main(string[] args) {
    Console.WriteLine("Math.Clamp(25, 50, 100): "+
                       Math.Clamp(25, 50, 100));   
    Console.WriteLine("Math.Clamp(25, 0, 50): "+
                       Math.Clamp(25, 0, 50));      
    Console.WriteLine("Math.Clamp(25, -25, 0): "+
                       Math.Clamp(25, -25, 0));  
  }
}

The output of the above code will be:

Math.Clamp(25, 50, 100): 50
Math.Clamp(25, 0, 50): 25
Math.Clamp(25, -25, 0): 0
