How to proportionally convert a number in the range of -1 and 1 to a number between 0 and 255
I have float noise values, between -1 and 1, for every x,y coordinate in a 3D area and I am trying to convert that to a whole number between 0 and 255 which represents a vertical z coordinate to render.

For example,  
``` 
-1 = 0 and   
1 = 255 but    
0.12345 = ???
```

How would I implement this efficiently?
