+1, though, David has good points about unnecessary laziness. I'm fine with the name and the signature ``` clamp :: Ord a ⇒ (a,a) → a → a ``` (or some variation on the theme). On Fri, Aug 14, 2020 at 5:38 PM, Sandy Maguire < sandy@sandymaguire.me > wrote:
Hi all,
It seems to me that base is missing the very standard function `clamp :: Ord a => a -> a -> a -> a`:
```haskell clamp :: Ord a => a -> a -> a -> a clamp low high = min high .max low
```
I propose it be added to Data.Ord. It's useful, generic, and non-trivial to get right (the "big" number goes with "min" -- causes me cognitive dissonance every time.)
Thanks,
Sandy
