What is this limit() function supposed to do?

rackatansky

hi! you can always check processing PVector class source to get the answer link

here is the code:

void limit(float max) { if (magSq() > max*max) { normalize(); mult(max); } }

I know this discussion is over a month old, but you just posted a full code solution to an obvious homework problem.

Are you trying to get banned, @rackatansky?

rackatansky

sorry i didn't know it's a homework!

@rackatansky, you simply linked to Processing's own source code. Nothing wrong w/ that!
Besides, administrator's general forum rules are announced at the top & described here: http://forum.processing.org/two/discussion/8042/processing-forum-rules-and-advices
Unless something very unacceptable, anything beyond that is extra judicial and abuse of moderator's authority! [-(

Apologies! Never wanted to abuse anyone, just trying to help. Cheers.

I can't see it's a homework either.

Maybe he's just working through the book...?

Let's not get dogmatic here...

@rackatansky, I said you did nothing against official forum rules!
You've got nothing to excuse or feel sorry about! ;;)
