Purpose/Output of bound()

[fromxtomatlab]

Dear all,

I've been translating some MatrixX simulations into Matlab and was struggling with the MatrixX function "bound()". Before I start with another strategy, like re-interpreting the blocks, I would really like to understand what this function is for... Anyone out there who n´knows?

In the original context, the function is used like:

a=bound(x,0.1,10000.);

Thanks in advance!

bound() places limits on the value of the first input, so in your example

a=bound(x,0.1,10000.);

in pseudocode;

if( x < 0.1)

  a = 0.1

else if(x > 10000)

  a = 10000

else

 a = x

end
