oxc/bad-min-max-func Correctness

This rule is turned on by default.

What it does

Checks whether the clamp function Math.min(Math.max(x, y), z) always evaluate to a constant result because the arguments are in the wrong order.

Why is this bad?

The Math.min(Math.max(x, y), z) function is used to clamp a value between two other values. If the arguments are in the wrong order, the function will always evaluate to a constant result.

Example

Examples of incorrect code for this rule:

javascript
Math.min(Math.max(100, x), 0);
Math.max(1000, Math.min(0, z));

Examples of correct code for this rule:

javascript
Math.max(0, Math.min(100, x));
Math.min(0, Math.max(1000, z));
