What's the most elegant way to cap a number to a segment? [closed]

Answer 1

If you are able to use es6 arrow functions, you could also use a partial application approach:

const clamp = (min, max) => (value) =>
    value < min ? min : value > max ? max : value;

clamp(2, 9)(8); // 8
clamp(2, 9)(1); // 2
clamp(2, 9)(10); // 9

or

const clamp2to9 = clamp(2, 9);
clamp2to9(8); // 8
clamp2to9(1); // 2
clamp2to9(10); // 9
