How to force a number to be in a range in C#? [duplicate]

Answer 1

I see Mark's answer and raise it by a this:

public static class InputExtensions
{
    public static int LimitToRange(
        this int value, int inclusiveMinimum, int inclusiveMaximum)
    {
        if (value < inclusiveMinimum) { return inclusiveMinimum; }
        if (value > inclusiveMaximum) { return inclusiveMaximum; }
        return value;
    }
}

Usage:

int userInput = ...;

int result = userInput.LimitToRange(1, 5)
