+Discussion
+----------
+
+``map()`` does not constrain values to within the range, because
+out-of-range values are sometimes intended and useful. The
+:ref:`constrain() <lang-constrain>` macro may be used either before or
+after this function, if limits to the ranges are desired.
+
+Note that the "lower bounds" of either range may be larger or smaller
+than the "upper bounds" so that ``map()`` may be used to reverse a
+range of numbers; for example::
+
+    y = map(x, 1, 50, 50, 1);
+
+The function also handles negative numbers well, so that this
+example ::
+
+    y = map(x, 1, 50, 50, -100);
+
+is also valid.
+
+The ``map()`` function uses integer math (its arguments and return
+values all have type :ref:`long <lang-long>`), so it will not generate
+fractions, when the math might indicate that it should do so.
+Fractional remainders are truncated, and are not rounded or averaged.
+
+Example
+-------
+
+::
+
+    /* Map an ADC reading (12 bits) to 16-bit PWM (0 to 65,535) */
+
+    void setup() {
+        pinMode(0, INPUT_ANALOG);
+        pinMode(9, PWM);
+    }
+
+    void loop() {
+        int val = analogRead(0);
+        val = map(val, 0, 4095, 0, 65535);
+        analogWrite(9, val);
+    }
