+## Laravel Tip 💡: Clamp Numbers ([⬆️](#helpers-tips-cd-))
+
+Have you ever needed to keep a number within a specific range, like a rating or a computed value? While you can hack your way through with min and max, Laravel ships with an elegant helper "clamp" to do exactly that 🚀
+
+```php
+<?php
+
+use Illuminate\Support\Number;
+
+Number::clamp(55, min: 10, max: 50); // Above the range, so the max 50 is returned
+
+Number::clamp(5, min: 10, max: 50); // Below the range, so the min 10 is returned
+
+Number::clamp(20, min: 10, max: 50); // Within the range, so the original value 20 is returned
+```
