What are the three values a lerp needs?	A start value, an end value, and a progress value.	topicladder math math
What is the difference between lerp and easing?	Lerp blends between endpoints; easing changes how progress moves over time.	topicladder math math
What does the 'Name start and end' step prove?	Interpolation is meaningless until the two endpoints are clear. Check: The note names both values and their units.	topicladder math math
What does the 'Choose the progress value' step prove?	A progress value such as 0.0 to 1.0 decides how far along the transition is. Check: You can explain what 0, 0.5, and 1 mean.	topicladder math math
What does the 'Separate lerp from easing' step prove?	Lerp gives the straight blend; easing changes how progress moves through time. Check: The project note says whether the goal is exact blend or a feel curve.	topicladder math math
What does the 'Clamp when safety matters' step prove?	Controls and parameters often need limits. Check: The output cannot overshoot the safe range.	topicladder math math
When would you use `value = start + (end - start) * t`?	Use it to compute a linear interpolation. Expected signal: t=0 returns start, t=1 returns end	topicladder math command
When would you use `position = position.lerp(target, 0.1)`?	Use it to smooth position toward a target. Expected signal: The value approaches the target without jumping instantly	topicladder math command
When would you use `output = clamp(output, min_value, max_value)`?	Use it to keep a control output inside limits. Expected signal: The result stays inside the stated safe range	topicladder math command
