Write a function `clamp(value, min, max)` that restricts a given number to fall within an inclusive minimum and maximum range. For example, `clamp(12, 0, 10)` should return `10`, `clamp(-4, 0, 10)` should return `0`, and `clamp(5, 0, 10)` should return `5`.

```js
function clamp(value, min, max) {
  // your code here
}

```

**Rules:**

- Must return the value itself if it falls within min and max
- Must return min if value is less than min
- Must return max if value is greater than max
- Assume min is always less than or equal to max
