Smalltalk/X has both #min:max: and #clampBetween:and:
in its Magnitude.st. Dolphin 7 has neither.
The definition of #clampBetween:and: in ST/X is
clampBetween: min and: max
max < self ifTrue: [^max].
self < min ifTrue: [^min].
^self
I've deleted the comment because it doesn't help with the question
"what is the CONTRACT for this method?" In particular, you would
naturally expect from the name that
(x clampBetween: y and: z) between: y and: z
Example:
3 clampBetween: 2 and: 1 ==> 1
1 between: 2 and: 1 ==> false
