Clamps `num` within the inclusive range specified by the boundary values `a` and `b`.
|
|
|
|
If `num` falls within the range, return `num`.
|
|
Otherwise, return the nearest number in the range.
|
|
|
|
```py
|
|
def clamp_number(num,a,b):
|
|
return max(min(num, max(a, b)), min(a, b))
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
```py
|
|
clamp_number(2, 3, 5) # 3
|
|
clamp_number(1, -1, -5) # -1
|
