Clamps `num` within the inclusive range specified by the boundary values.
|
|
|
|
- If `num` falls within the range (`a`, `b`), 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
|
|
```
