How to limit a number between a min/max value in JavaScript ?

We can limit a number between a min/max value using the is-else condition and using the Math.min and Math.max methods of JavaScript.

Below are the approaches to limit a number between a min/max value in JavaScript:

Table of Content

  • Using the if-else condition
  • Using the Math.min() and Math.max() methods

Using the if-else condition

This JavaScript function checkNumber(n) ensures that an input number n is within the range of 0 to 100.

  • Convert to number: The input n is converted to a number using Number(n).
  • Check below 0: If n is less than 0, a message is logged to the console instructing the user to enter a number between 0 and 100, and the value is set to 0.
  • Check above 100: If n is greater than 100, it logs the same message and sets n to 100.
  • Valid number: If n is valid, it logs the entered number.

Example: The below code uses if-else conditions to limit the value of the entered number.

JavaScript
function checkNumber(n) {     n = Number(n);     if (n < 0) {         console.log('Type number between 0-100');         n = 0;     } else if (n > 100) {         console.log('Type number between 0-100');         n = 100;     } else {         console.log('Valid number: ' + n);     } }  checkNumber(50);   

Output
Valid number: 50 

Using the Math.min() and Math.max() methods

The approach ensures a number is within the range [0, 100] by using input conversion and value clamping:

  • Input Conversion: checkRange() converts the input into a number using Number() to handle possible non-numeric values.
  • Range Clamping: It applies Math.max(0, n) to ensure the number is at least 0 and Math.min(100, n) to ensure it doesn’t exceed 100.
  • Test and Output: checkNumber() tests this logic by passing 150, which is clamped to 100. Both the original and clamped values are logged for comparison.

Example: The below example illustrates the use of the Math.min() and Math.max() methods to limit the entered number.

JavaScript
// Function to check if a number is within the range [0, 100] function checkRange(number) {     let n = Number(number);     n = Math.min(100, Math.max(0, n));      return n; }  function checkNumber() {     const inputNumber = 150;       const rangedNumber = checkRange(inputNumber);        console.log("Original number: " + inputNumber);     console.log("Number ranged to: " + rangedNumber);  }  checkNumber(); 

Output
Original number: 150 Number ranged to: 100
