<code class="sig">clamp(v, lo, hi) -&gt; int</code>
<div class="desc"><p>Constrains a value to a range: it returns <code>lo</code> if <code>v</code> is below the range, <code>hi</code> if it is above, and <code>v</code> unchanged when it already lies within <code>[lo, hi]</code>. The classic use is keeping a moving object on screen or inside a grid, so its position can never run past the walls no matter how fast it moves. It saves you writing a pair of <code>if</code> checks by hand. Make sure <code>lo</code> is not greater than <code>hi</code>.</p></div>
