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

The Math.max(int a, int b) function is defined as:

public static int min(int a, int b) {
    return (a <= b) ? a : b;
}

So you can make a combination of the max and min functions as follows:

private static int MAX=10;
private static int MIN=0;

public int limit(int a) {
    return (a > MAX) ? MAX : (a < MIN ? MIN: a );
}
