Dynamic Value Remapping in Programming

Introduction to the Map Function

The Map Function is a powerful tool used in programming to remap a specified value from one range to another. This function is particularly useful in scenarios where you need to scale inputs, such as sensor readings, to fit a different output range. For example, it can be used to convert an analog input from a sensor into a corresponding LED coordinate.

Key Features:

• Value Mapping: Maps a value from a defined input range to a defined output range.
• Flexible Ranges: Allows for out-of-range values, making it versatile for various applications.
• Integration with Other Functions: Can be combined with functions like Math.clamp to limit values if needed.

Use Cases:

• Sensor Data Processing: Convert raw sensor data to a usable format for display or further processing.
• Game Development: Map player inputs to game mechanics, such as moving a character based on joystick input.
• Data Visualization: Scale data points for graphical representation in charts or graphs.
