MathfRepeat

MathfRepeat is a function commonly found in game development and mathematical libraries, particularly in Unity. Its primary purpose is to repeat a value within a specified range. Given a value, a minimum bound, and a maximum bound, MathfRepeat ensures the output value stays within the inclusive range of min and max.

If the input value is already within the range [min, max], the function returns the value unchanged. However, if the value falls outside this range, MathfRepeat will adjust it. For instance, if the value is greater than the maximum, it will "wrap around" from the minimum. Conversely, if the value is less than the minimum, it will wrap around from the maximum. This behavior is analogous to the modulo operator in many programming languages, but specifically tailored for floating-point numbers and a defined range.

The typical signature for such a function would be Mathf.Repeat(float t, float length). In this case, 't' is the value to be repeated, and 'length' is the size of the range, implicitly starting from zero up to 'length'. The result will always be within the range [0, length). This is useful for tasks like looping animations, cyclical movements, or mapping values to a specific interval. Understanding MathfRepeat allows developers to create predictable and continuous behaviors in their applications.
