#How can I get a float from 0-1 from 3 floats (a value, a min, and a max).

I am trying to create a function that takes in three floats and returns a single float from 0-1.
For example if these were the values passed in:
Value: 22000, Min: 22000, Max: 23250
Then it should return 0, but if these were the values passed in:
Value: 23250, Min: 22000, Max: 23250
it would return 1.
And any value between 22000 and 23250 would return a different number like 0.356 or 0.935, with the returned number being higher the closer to the max value it is.

I can't figure out what equations I could use to achieve this.

get the difference between the value and the min, and compare it to the max difference between min and max to figure out where you are on the scale from min to max

this worked:

(value - min) / (max - min)

yeah that's inverse lerp
