Clamp Range

L1 Easy Arrays & Hashing

Concept

Clamping pushes a value into an allowed band: anything below low becomes low, anything above high becomes high.

Return a new array where every value in nums is clamped into the inclusive range low...high. Values already inside the range stay unchanged. You may assume low is at most high.

Examples

▸ nums = [1, 5, 10], low = 2, high = 7

→ [2, 5, 7]

▸ nums = [-5, 50], low = 0, high = 10

→ [0, 10]

▸ nums = [], low = 1, high = 3

→ []

Progressive Hints

Hint 1 · Nudge

Anything too small becomes low, anything too big becomes high, everything else stays.

Hint 2 · Plan

Build a new array. For each value, stamp it into the band: values below low become low, values above high become high, the rest keep their value. Return the array.

Hint 3 · Approach

result = []. For each n: if n < low then n = low; else if n > high then n = high. Append n. Return result.
