Java - limit number between min and max

Question

I want to return the number as long as it falls within a limit, else return the maximum or minimum value of the limit. I can do this with a combination of Math.min

Answer 1

If you're on Android, use the MathUtils (in support library), it has only one function which specifically does this called clamp.

This method takes a numerical value and ensures it fits in a given numerical range. If the number is smaller than the minimum required by the range, then the minimum of the range will be returned. If the number is higher than the maximum allowed by the range then the maximum of the range will be returned.
