# clamp(_:min:max:name:)

Clamps the values in the first tensor between the corresponding values in the minimum and maximum value tensor.

```
func clamp(_ tensor: MPSGraphTensor, min minValueTensor: MPSGraphTensor, max maxValueTensor: MPSGraphTensor, name: String?) -> MPSGraphTensor
```

## Parameters

`tensor`

The tensor to be clamped.

`minValueTensor`

The tensor with min values to clamp to.

`name`

An optional string which serves as an identifier for the operation.

## Return Value

A valid `MPSGraphTensor` object containing the elementwise result of the applied operation.

## Discussion

This operation creates a clamp operation and returns the result tensor. It supports broadcasting as well.

```md
resultTensor = clamp(tensor, minValueTensor, maxValueTensor)
```
