== Why is this an issue?
Java 21 introduces the new method `Math.clamp(value, min, max)` that fits a value within a specified interval.
Before Java 21, this behavior required explicit calls to the `Math.min` and `Math.max` methods, as in `Math.max(min, Math.min(value, max))`.
If `min > max`, `Math.clamp` throws an `IllegalArgumentException`, indicating an invalid interval.
This can occur if the `min` and `max` arguments are mistakenly reversed.
Note that `Math.clamp` is not a general substitute for `Math.min` or `Math.max`, but for the combination of both.
If `value` is the same as `min` or `max`, using `Math.clamp` is unnecessary and `Math.min` or `Math.max` should be used instead.
== How to fix it
- Use `Math.clamp(value, min, max)` instead of `Math.clamp(value, max, min)`.
- If `value` is the same as `min`, use `Math.min(value, max)` instead.
- If `value` is the same as `max`, use `Math.max(min, value)` instead.
=== Code examples
==== Noncompliant code example
[source,java,diff-id=1,diff-type=noncompliant]
----
Math.clamp(red, 1f, 0f); // Noncompliant, [1,0] is not a valid range
----
==== Compliant solution
[source,java,diff-id=1,diff-type=compliant]
----
Math.clamp(red, 0f, 1f); // Compliant
----
==== Noncompliant code example
[source,java,diff-id=2,diff-type=noncompliant]
----
Math.clamp(red, red, 1f); // Noncompliant, use Math.min(red, 1f)
----
==== Compliant solution
[source,java,diff-id=2,diff-type=compliant]
----
Math.min(red, 1f) // Compliant
----
==== Noncompliant code example
[source,java,diff-id=3,diff-type=noncompliant]
----
Math.clamp(red, 0f, red); // Noncompliant, use Math.max(0f, red)
----
==== Compliant solution
[source,java,diff-id=3,diff-type=compliant]
----
Math.min(0f, red) // Compliant
----
