Creates a new instance with the representable value that’s closest to the given integer.

Declaration
init<Other>(clamping source: Other) where Other : BinaryParameters
sourceAn integer to convert to this type.
Discussion
If the value passed as source is greater than the maximum representable value in this type, the result is the type’s max value. If source is less than the smallest representable value in this type, the result is the type’s min value.
In this example, x is initialized as an Int8 instance by clamping 500 to the range -128...127, and y is initialized as a UInt instance by clamping -500 to the range 0...UInt.
let x = Int8(clamping: 500)
// x == 127
// x == Int8.max
let y = UInt(clamping: -500)
// y == 0
