Call Functions Until One Meets Condition

Introduction

This is an alternative tip to the original tip[^].

It basically wraps the original tip into one function. I prefer wrapping such functionality into a function that tells about the intent of the construct (even some purists will argue that function calls cost execution time...).

Here comes the code:

public static void RunToFirstMatch<T>(Func<T, bool> sentry, params Func<T>[] functions)
{
    functions.Any(f => sentry(f()));
}

The code is called as follows (see the original functions[^]):

RunToFirstMatch(v => (v >= 5), Step1, ()=>Step2(1,1), Step3, Step4, ()=>0+1);

As said, the content is the same, I simply added some wrapping.
