How can I increment a variable without exceeding a maximum value?

Question

I am working on a simple video game program for school and I have created a method where the player gets 15 health points if that method is called. I have to keep the health at

Answer 1

I believe this will do

if (health >= 85) health = 100;
else health += 15;

Explanation:

• If the gap for healing is 15 or less, health will become 100.

• Otherwise if the gap is bigger than 15, it will add 15 to the health.

So for example: if the health is 83, it will become 98 but not 100.
