map()

Convert a number from one range to another, including values outside the source range.

map(value, minValue, maxValue, minResult, maxResult)

For example, 5 in the range 0 to 10 maps to 50 in the range 0 to 100. The number may lie outside the source range: it is then carried just as far outside the destination range (for example, 15 in the range 0 to 10 maps to 150 in the range 0 to 100). To require the number to stay within the source range instead, use mapValue().

Parameters

map(value, minValue, maxValue, minResult, maxResult)

Parameter	Type	Default	Description
value	int or float	required	The number to convert.
minValue	int or float	required	The low end of the source range (inclusive).
maxValue	int or float	required	The high end of the source range (inclusive).
minResult	int or float	required	The low end of the destination range (inclusive).
maxResult	int or float	required	The high end of the destination range (inclusive).

Returns

return mappedValue

Value	Type	Description
mappedValue	int or float	The number's matching place relative to the destination range. It is an int if minResult is an int, otherwise a float.
