Cycle/wrap a number

Is there an expression that can cycle a variable between two numbers?

ex.

x = cycle(3.5,0,1); // sets x at 0.5

Are you talking about the random command? If so, set each number as an option. Random can be found in several tutorials.

Nay. I was wondering if there is an expression or function that can keep a number within a range without "clipping" it at the maximum or minimum value. Say I want a number to stay between 0 and 8, and the number i enter is 10. it returns as 2, not 8.

You could try

min = 0;

max = 1;

value = 3.5;

x = (value % max) + min

But i'm not %100 on this. I tried this a few times with different result. Higher than max seems to have no troubles.

I have to admit. If this works it would seem that a cycle function would be kind of a silly idea; since this is a pretty minimal expression. We don't really use function such a multiply(var1, var2). Unless of course there is some serious optimization.
