Description:
Returns a structure containing the smallest and largest value in a set of values.

Return Values:
Returns a structure.

Example:

<CFSET Values="1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10">
  <CFSET MinMax=MinMax(values)> 

  <CFOUTPUT>
  Given <CFIF IsArray(Values)>{#ArrayToList(Values)#}<CFELSE>{#Values#}</CFIF>
  The min is #MinMax.MinVal#
  The max is #MinMax.MaxVal#
  </CFOUTPUT>

Parameters:
