public class CloudCrafter : MonoBehaviour

// fields set in the Unity Inspector pane

public int numClouds = 40; // The # of clouds to make
public GameObject [] cloudPrefabs; // The prefabs for the clouds
public Vector3 cloudPosMin; // Min position of each cloud
public Vector3 cloudPosMax; // Max position of each cloud
public float cloudScaleMin = 1; // Min scale of each cloud
public float cloudScaleMax = 5; // Max scale of each cloud
public float cloudSpeedMult = 0.5f; // Adjusts speed of cloud
public bool __________________;

// fields set dynamically
public GameObject [] cloudInstances;

void Awake ()

	// Make an array large enough to hold all the Clou_ instances
	cloudInstances = new GameObject[numClouds];
	// Find the CloudAnchor parent GameObject
	GameObject anchor = GameObject.Find ("CloudAnchor");
	// Iterate through and make Cloud_s
	GameObject cloud;
	for (int i = 0;i < numClouds;i++)
	{
		// Pick an int between 0 and cloudPrefabs.Length - 1
		// Random.Range will not ever pick as high as the top number
		int prefabNum = Random.Range (0, cloudPrefabs.Length);
		// Make an instance
		cloud = Instantiate (cloudPrefabs [prefabNum]) as GameObject;
		// Position cloud
		Vector3 cPos = Vector3.zero;
		cPos.x = Random.Range (cloudPosMin.x, cloudPosMax.x);
		cPos.y = Random.Range (cloudPosMin.y, cloudPosMax.y);
		// Scale cloud
		float scaleU = Random.value;
		float scaleVal = Mathf.Lerp (cloudScaleMin, cloudScaleMax, scaleU);
		// Smaller clouds (with smaller scaleU) should be nearer the ground
		cPos.y = Mathf.Lerp (cloudPosMin.y, cPos.y, scaleU);
		// Smaller clouds should be further away
		cPos.z = 100 - (90 * scaleU);
		// Apple these transforms to the cloud
		cloud.transform.position = cPos;
		cloud.transform.localScale = Vector3.one * scaleVal;
		// Make cloud a child of the anchor
		cloud.transform.parent = anchor.transform;
		// Add the cloud to cloudInstances
		cloudInstances  *= cloud;*

    The code is a bit long. Can someone explain what does Mathf.lerp mean??? Thanks, Im new to c#.
