Detailed Description

Limit a numerical value so that it does not go outside a given range.

There are two functions (plus overloads) defined here: clamp() and clampInPlace(). The first one is the most commonly used and simply calculates an in-range value from an input value and a given range [low,high]. clampInPlace() is given a reference to a variable and if necessary modifies that variable so that its value is in the given range [low,high]. Both functions are overloaded for all the integral and real types but are not defined for complex or conjugate types.

The following examples shows how clamp() and clampInPlace() can be defined in terms of std::min() and std::max().

clamp():

const double low, high; // from somewhere
const double v;
double clampedValue;
clampedValue = clamp(low,v,high); // clampedValue is in [low,high]
clampedValue = std::min(std::max(low,v), high); // equivalent

clampInPlace():

const double low, high; // from somewhere
double v;
clampInPlace(low,v,high); // now v is in [low,high]
v = std::min(std::max(low,v), high); // equivalent

[in]	high	The upper bound; must be >= low.

Returns: Either the value v or one of the bounds.

This method is overloaded for all standard integral and floating point types. All the arguments and the return type will be the same type; there are no explicit overloads for mixed types so you may find you need to cast the bounds in some cases to ensure you are calling the correct overload.

Warning: Viewed as a function of the input value v, clamp(v) is not very smooth – it is continuous (C0) but even its first derivative is infinite at the bounds.

Cost: These are very fast, inline methods; the floating point ones use just two flops.
