Python any() function

Python any() function returns True if any of the elements of a given iterable( List, Dictionary, Tuple, set, etc) are True else it returns False. 

Syntax: any(iterable)

Parameters: Iterable: It is an iterable object such as a dictionary, tuple, list, set, etc.                 

Returns: Python any() function returns true if any of the items is True.

Example #1: Python any()  function Lists




# All elements of list are true
l = [ 4, 5, 1]
print(any( l ))
 
# All elements of list are false
l = [ 0, 0, False]
print(any( l ))
 
# Some elements of list are
# true while others are false
l = [ 1, 0, 6, 7, False]
print(any( l ))
 
# Empty List
l = []
print(any( l )) 





                        







Output:



True
False
True
False
Example #2: Working of any() function with Tuples














                                    



                                    




                                    




                                    


                                



















# All elements of tuple are true



t = (2, 4, 6)




print(any(t))



 


# All elements of tuple are false



t = (0, False, False)




print(any(t))



 


# Some elements of tuple are true while


# others are false



t = (5, 0, 3, 1, False)




print(any(t))



 


# Empty tuple



t = ()




print(any(t))



















                        






                        







Output:
True
False
True
False
Example #3: Working of any() function with Sets














                                    



                                    




                                    




                                    


                                



















# All elements of set are true



s = { 1, 1, 3}




print(any( s ))



 


# All elements of set are false



s = { 0, 0, False}




print(any( s ))



 


# Some elements of set are true while others are false



s = { 1, 2, 0, 8, False}




print(any( s ))



 


#Empty set



s = {}




print(any( s ))



















                        






                        







Output:
True
False
True
False
Example #4: Working of any() function with Dictionaries
Note: In the case of a dictionary if all the keys of the dictionary are false or the dictionary is empty the any() returns False. If at least one key is True any() returns True.














                                    



                                    




                                    




                                    


                                



















# All elements of dictionary are true



d = {1: "Hello", 2: "Hi"}




print(any(d))



 


# All elements of dictionary are false



d = {0: "Hello", False: "Hi"}




print(any(d))



 


# Some elements of dictionary


# are true while others are false



d = {0: "Salut", 1: "Hello", 2: "Hi"}




print(any(d))



 


# Empty dictionary



d = {}




print(any(d))



















                        






                        







Output:
True
False
True
False

Example #5: Working of any() function with Strings














                                    



                                    




                                    




                                    


                                



















# Non-Empty String



s = "Hi There!"




print(any(s))



 


# Non-Empty String



s = "000"




print(any(s))



 


# Empty string



s = ""




print(any(s))



















                        






                        







Output:
True
True
False
Example #6: Python any function with condition
It checks for any element satisfying a condition and returns a True in case it finds any one element.














                                    



                                    




                                    




                                    


                                



















# Python3 code to demonstrate working of


# Check if any element in list satisfies a condition


# Using any()


 


# initializing list



test_list = [4, 5, 8, 9, 10, 17]



 


# printing list



print("The original list : " + str(test_list))



 


# Check if any element in list satisfies a condition


# Using any()



res = any(ele > 10 for ele in test_list)



 


# Printing result



print("Does any element satisfy specified condition ? : " + str(res))



















                        






                        







Output:
The original list : [4, 5, 8, 9, 10, 17]
Does any element satisfy specified condition ? : True

Example #7: Python any() function with for loop














                                    



                                    




                                    




                                    


                                




















def any(list_x):




    for item in list_x:




        if item:




            return True




    return False



 



x = [4, 5, 8, 9, 10, 17]




print(any(x))



















                        






                        







Output:
True
