coerceIn method

T coerceIn(
  1. T minimumValue, [
  2. T? maximumValue
])

Ensures that this value lies in the specified range minimumValue..maximumValue.

Return this value if it's in the range, or minimumValue if this value is less than minimumValue, or maximumValue if this value is greater than maximumValue.

print(10.coerceIn(1, 100)) // 10
print(0.coerceIn(1, 100)) // 1
print(500.coerceIn(1, 100)) // 100
10.coerceIn(100, 0) // will fail with ArgumentError

Implementation

T coerceIn(T minimumValue, [T? maximumValue]) {
  if (maximumValue != null && minimumValue > maximumValue) {
    throw ArgumentError('Cannot coerce value to an empty range: '
        'maximum $maximumValue is less than minimum $minimumValue.');
  }
  if (this < minimumValue) return minimumValue;
  if (maximumValue != null && this > maximumValue) return maximumValue;
  return this;
}
