Added naqsh function representing the map function

[mzaidikhlas]

I have added the naqsh function which maps a number from one range to another
naqsh(value, currentMinRange, currentMaxRange, targetMinRange, targetMaxRange)

Example:

rakho x = naqsh(5,1,10,1,100)
likho(x) // outputs 45

can you provide little elaboration over this ? or some thing equivalent in JS, may be I am missing something here.
Thanks

It's just a mathematical function,

This is great stuff. I know naksh translates perfectly but do we have a more simpler word we can use? Not necessarily a translation but conveys the meaning.

[mzaidikhlas]

Yes @asadm i agree, its a bit complicated since its a math driven function but I couldn't think of a simpler interpretation. Nevertheless, suggestions from the community would be highly appreciated so that we can change it to a simpler one.

This would begin to change urduscript from a javascript dialect to a javascript library; is that consistent with the goals?

[asadm]

I think primitive helper functions align with the goal fine. The goal is to make programming easier for Urdu speakers. Even if we go beyond what JS offers.

I would imagine inheriting some AJAX helpers too.

So have we decided a name for the function?
