thibela

thibela(boleng, kwaTlase, kwaGodimo)

When the number is already between the limits, thibela returns it unchanged. When it goes past the upper limit, that limit is returned; when it falls below the lower one, that is returned.

• thibela(150, 0, 100) is 100
• thibela(-20, 0, 100) is 0
• thibela(45, 0, 100) is 45

This earns its place when a value comes from outside — from the mouse, from paloEpe, or from a sum — and you want to be sure a shape stays on the canvas.

lekanyetsa can do the same thing when you pass it nnete as the sixth value.

Parameters
