### map()

Examples |
    int value;
    int m;

    void setup() {
      Serial.begin(9600);
    }

    void loop() {
      value = analogRead(0);
      m = (int)map(value, 0, 222, 0, 100); // converts a number in the range
      Serial.println(m); // 0-255 to a number in the range 0-100
      delay(100);
    }
Description | Re-maps a number from one range to another. In the example above, the number value is converted from a value in the range 0..255 into a value that ranges from 0 to 100. Numbers outside the range are not clamped to 0 and 1, because out-of-range values are often intentional and useful.
Syntax |
    map(value, low1, high1, low2, high2)
Parameters |

value | float: The incoming value to be converted
low1 | float: Lower bound of the value's current range
high1 | float: Upper bound of the value's current range
low2 | float: Lower bound of the value's target range
high2 | float: Upper bound of the value's target range

Returns | float
Usage | Application
