Limit integer to bounds [duplicate]

Question

I'm trying to make sure that int x is greater or equal than 0 but smaller than 1080 (screen size in this case).

I came up with this

int x = 123;
x = std::min(std::max(x, 0), 1080);

This seems ugly. Is there a better way to achieve this?

Answer 1

If you live in the future, you can use std::clamp from C++17:

x = std::clamp(x, 0, 1080);
