Where can I find the “clamp” function in .NET?

Question

I would like to clamp a value x to a range [a, b]:

x = (x < a) ? a : ((x > b) ? b : x);

This is quite basic

Using the previous answers, I condensed it down to the below code for my needs. This will also allow you to clamp a number only by its min or max.

public static class IComparableExtensions
{
    public static T Clamped(this T value, T min, T max) 
        where T : IComparable
    {
        return value.CompareTo(min) < 0 ? min : value.ClampedMaximum(max);
    }

    public static T ClampedMinimum(this T value, T min)
        where T : IComparable
    {
        return value.CompareTo(min) < 0 ? min : value;
    }

    public static T ClampedMaximum(this T value, T max)
        where T : IComparable
    {
        return value.CompareTo(max) > 0 ? max : value;
    }
}
