Hi Monks,

This is relatively can be done by looping through values of any array and count how many of array elements are greater than $x and then calculate the percentage as follow. I am just wondering if there is another way to avoid the looping. 

#!/usr/local/bin/perl
use strict; 

my $y= 10;
my @array =(1, 4, 5, 7, 8, 9, 10, 20, 30, 40, 60);
my $greater = 0 ; 

if(my $y >= 1){
  foreach my $elem (@array){
                if ($elem > $y){
                $greater++; 
                }
           }
           my $pecentgreater =  $greater /(scalar @array) *100; 
                   print "Percent Greater Than y = $pecentgreater\n";
