I give up...Please help.

Hi fellows.

I just started to learn python but I am stuck with this problem.

I have to create a function:

def clip(lo, x, hi).

The function takes in three numbers and returns a value based on the value of x. Returns:
-lo, when x < lo
-hi, whtn x > hi
-x, otherwise.

The problem for me is that we do not have to use -for this problem- any conditional statements. Instead, we have to use the built in python functions min() and max().

I do not know how to do it....yet.

thanks!

use if, elif and else statements like so:

if x < lo:
    return lo
elif x > hi:
    return hi
else:
    return x

also helps to put in your code so we can it as a whole also do you want it to return it or print it? Just want to make sure since you said you are just learning python.
