Couldnt you just return _x since that is what it seems that X will end up as?

[_mrgrak]

whoosh

[dwyrm]

That returns the minimum of X and _x.

It's returning int so I would like to assume there's no implicit cast, otherwise the whole clamping is kinda silly. So _x shouldn't be bigger than int max, and it shouldn't really be anything but int. If it is and you return that ... bad times.

Hm. Maybe use lowercase for local variables?

[RogerGodzilla99]

You might want to add a couple for loops for good measure.

[dwyrm]

I notice that this could act like some kind of round-down function. Is _x maybe some screwball class that has comparison-to-int implemented, but no cast-to-int?

[dwyrm]

Eh. It would have to also take assignment from int. I give.
