Algorithm (Workflow)
This function, limitinterv, is designed to constrain a given number within a specified range. It is part of the SolidGeometry library, version 5.3, and was created by Tim C. Lueth in 2023.
Input Parameters
- x: A numerical value that needs to be constrained.
- xlim: A two-element vector specifying the minimum and maximum limits, in the form [min max].
Output
- y: The constrained value of
x, which will be within the range specified by xlim.
Algorithm Steps
- Check if
x is less than the minimum limit xlim(1):
- If true, set
y to xlim(1).
- Check if
x is greater than the maximum limit xlim(2):
- If true, set
y to xlim(2).
- If neither condition is met, set
y to x.
Example Usage
Here are some examples of how the function can be used:
limitinterv(10, [5 20]) returns 10, as it is within the range.limitinterv(-10, [5 20]) returns 5, as -10 is below the minimum limit.limitinterv(30, [5 20]) returns 20, as 30 is above the maximum limit.
