`limit()`

beginner math

The `limit()` function constrains a number to a specified range, ensuring that it doesn't exceed set minimum and maximum values. Creative coders might use this to control movement or color values in a way that creates pleasing visual effects, such as keeping a bouncing ball within the canvas or ensuring colors stay vibrant without exceeding RGB limits. This function is essential for maintaining control in generative art and interactive animations, allowing for a harmonious blend of chaos and order.
