Check if there is a bigger number than X in array

Question

I need a function, without looping, that checks if the array values are bigger than a number of my choice X . If there is, return false.

Is there a nice efficient way to do this? Maybe some anonymous function?

Thanks.

Answer 1

A simple solution would be to use min ^[docs] :

if (min($values) > $my_value) {
    // all values are larger
}

You can find other solutions in this similar question: PHP: Check to see if all the values in an array are less than x .

Answer 2

you can make this into an anon function...

function is_bigger($x,$arry){
    if(max($arry) > $x){
        return false;
    }
}

or as anon function...

$res = function($x,$arry){
    if(max($arry) > $x){
        return false;
    }else{
        return true;
    }
}
