<code class="sig">Math.inverse_lerp(a, b, v) -&gt; fixed</code>
<div class="desc"><p>The inverse of <code>Math.lerp</code>: given endpoints <code>a</code> and <code>b</code> and a value <code>v</code>, it returns the fraction <code>(v - a) / (b - a)</code> — <code>0.0</code> when <code>v</code> equals <code>a</code>, <code>1.0</code> when it equals <code>b</code>. Use it to turn a raw quantity into a normalized amount: how full a health bar is, how far a timer has run, or the <code>t</code> to feed into another <code>Math.lerp</code>. The endpoints must differ, since equal ones would divide by zero.</p></div>
