Python any() Function
The any() function in Python returns True if any element of an iterable is True. For example:
x = [12, 53, True, "codes"] print(any(x)) x = [False, False, True, False] print(any(x)) x = [True, True, True] print(any(x)) x = [12, 32, 54, False] print(any(x)) x = [False, False, False] print(any(x)) x = [] print(any(x))
The output produced by this Python program, demonstrating the any() function is given below:
True True True True False False
Python any() Function Syntax
The syntax of any() function in Python is:
any(iterable)
Note: The any() function always returns a boolean value. That is, it returns either True or False.
Note: The any() returns True if any element is True. Otherwise returns False if the iterable is empty or the iterable contains 0 or/and False as its all elements.
Python any() Function Example
Here is a simple example program on any() function. This program uses list as an iterable to demonstrate the any function in Python:
x = [0] print(any(x)) x = [False] print(any(x)) x = [False, 0] print(any(x)) x = [] print(any(x)) x = [False, 0, 10] print(any(x)) x = [False, 0, True] print(any(x))
Here is its output:
False False False False True True
Note: The any() function works in similar way for tuple, set, and dictionary.
Note: In case of dictionary, the any() function consider the key. Here is an example:
x = {0: False, 1: False} print(any(x)) d = {0: False, False: True} print(any(d)) d = {} print(any(d)) d = {"False": "0", "False": "1"} print(any(d))
Following is its output:
True False False True
Note: Enclosing the False inside a double quote, meaning the False gets considered as a string. Therefore "False" as key gets considered as a key with some string.
Note: Either if the dictionary is empty, or if all the key of dictionary is 0 or False, then only the any() function returns False. Otherwise, it returns True, if any key is True.
The any() function can also be used with strings. Here is an example:
x = "False" print(any(x)) x = "fresherearth" print(any(x)) x = "" print(any(x))
The output is:
True True False
