Idiom #191 Check if any value in a list is larger than a limit

Given a one-dimensional array a, check if any value is larger than x, and execute the procedure f if that is the case

if (count(array_filter($a, function($v) { return $v > $x; })))
  f();

// or with intermediate steps
$tmp = array_filter(
  $a,
  function ($v) { return $v > $x; }
)
if (count($tmp))
  f();

// or with array reduce instead
if (
  array_reduce($a, 
    function($old, $item) { return $old or ($item > $x); }
  )
)
  f();

// Array reduce takes the old result $old, and 
// applies $item (from $a) to the old result 
// iteratively. We use the 'or' boolean operator
// to implement an 'any' operation.

unsigned i;
for (i = 0; i < sizeof(a) / sizeof(a[0]); ++i) {
	if (a[i] > x) {
		f();
		break;
	}
