title: Define User Input Within a Range
body: <p>I have code where I receive floating point values from the user and manipulate them. Now I would just like to restrict the user input values within the range of [-100,000 to +100,000]. </p>
  
  <p>Would I do this by defining INT_MIN and INT_MAX using the limits library? Everything I see online explains that the maximum value here is +32767, minimum -32768, where the numbers are larger if I were to use LONG_MIN, LONG_MAX.</p>
  
  <p>Is there a way to customize the range? Would it be a mistake to use integer methods for floats?</p>
