how to use the clamp function from lodash in javascript

The clamp function from Lodash is used to clamp a given number within the inclusive lower and upper bounds. If the given number is smaller than lower, it returns lower. If the given number is greater than upper, it returns upper. Otherwise, it returns the given number.

Here's an example usage of the clamp function in Javascript:

index.tsx
const _ = require('lodash');

const lower = 0;
const upper = 10;
const number = 5;

const clampedNumber = _.clamp(number, lower, upper); // returns 5

console.log(clampedNumber);
179 chars
10 lines

In this example, the clamp function is imported from Lodash using the require statement, and it is called with number, lower, and upper as arguments. The result is stored in the clampedNumber variable, which is printed to the console.

If we were to call clamp with a number that is outside of the lower and upper bounds:

index.tsx
const _ = require('lodash');

const lower = 0;
const upper = 10;
const number = -5;

const clampedNumber = _.clamp(number, lower, upper); // returns 0

console.log(clampedNumber);
180 chars
10 lines

The clamp function will return lower because number is below the lower bound.

If we were to call clamp with a number that is greater than upper:

index.tsx
const _ = require('lodash');

const lower = 0;
const upper = 10;
const number = 15;

const clampedNumber = _.clamp(number, lower, upper); // returns 10

console.log(clampedNumber);
181 chars
10 lines

The clamp function will return upper because number is above the upper bound.
