MinMaxArray

Please note that versions [1] and [2], and [8] and [9] are actually equivalent. Versions [1] and [8] have been declared for syntactical reasons only: they can be called using an explicit list of values, something like

MinMaxArray ([v1,v2,v3,v4], MinVal, MaxVal);

Versions [3], [5], [10] and [12] provide additional information and can be restricted to a particular range of array elements. The parameters FirstIx and LastIx define the search range for versions [3] and [10], the parameters LowCol, LowRow, HighCol and HighRow specify the search range of versions [5] and [12]. The variable parameters MinIx and MaxIx (versions [3] and [10]) and MinCol, MinRow, MaxCol, MaxRow (versions [5] and [12]) return the indices of the found minimum and maximum.

The function returns a zero value if everything is OK and the MinVal and MaxVal parameters contain the minimum and maximum.

The function returns the following error codes:

 0 ... everything is OK, the returned value is valid
-1 ... the array has zero size
-2 ... FirstIx and/or LastIx is out of range (version [3] or [10]), or LowCol, HighCol, LowRow or HighRow is out of range (version [5] or [12])
