Method testMinMax

src/AutoNumericHelper.js:1176–1226

* Function to test if the input value falls with the Min / Max settings. * This uses the parsed strings for the above parseStr function. * * This function is adapted from Big.js https://github.com/MikeMcl/big.js/. Many thanks to Mike. * * @param {Big} y Big number instance

(y, x)

     * @returns {-1|0|1} Comparison result: 0 if x=y, -1 if y>x, +1 if y<x
