Script Preparation code:

var number = Math.random() * 1000;
var min = Math.random() * 300;
var max = Math.random() * 1200;

function ternaryClamp(number, min, max) {
  return number > max ? max : (number < min ? min : number);
}
function ternaryMin(number, min) {
  return number < min ? number: min;
}
function ternaryMax(number, max) {
  return number > max ? number: max;
