The any()<\/code><\/strong> function in Python returns True <\/code><\/strong>if any element of an iterable(List<\/strong>, set<\/strong>, dictionary<\/strong>, tuple<\/strong>) is True. If not, it returns False<\/code><\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

any() Syntax<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The syntax of any()<\/code><\/strong> method is <\/p>\n\n\n\n

any(iterable)<\/strong><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
any() Parameters<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
The any()<\/code><\/strong> function takes iterable as an argument the iterable can be of type list<\/strong>, set<\/strong>, tuple<\/strong>, dictionary<\/strong>, etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
any() Return Value<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
The any()<\/code><\/strong> method returns a boolean value.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    \n
  • True <\/code><\/strong>if one of the elements in iterable is true<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • False <\/code><\/strong>if all the elements in iterable are false or if the iterable is empty<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
    Condition<\/th>Return Value<\/th><\/tr>
    All elements are true<\/td>True<\/td><\/tr>
    All elements are false<\/td>False<\/td><\/tr>
    One element is true and others are false)<\/td>True<\/td><\/tr>
    One element is false and others are true<\/td>True<\/td><\/tr>
    Empty Iterable<\/td>False<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
    Example 1 \u2013 Using any() function on Python Lists<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
    # All the elements in the list are true\nlist = [1,3,5,7]\nprint(any(list))\n\n# All the elements in the list are false\nlist = [0,0,False]\nprint(any(list))\n\n# Some of the elements are false\nlist = [1,5,7,False]\nprint(any(list))\n\n\n# Only 1 element is true\nlist = [0, False, 5]\nprint(any(list))\n\n# False since its Empty iterable \nlist = []\nprint(any(list))<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
    Output<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
    True\nFalse\nTrue\nTrue\nFalse<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
    Example 2 \u2013 Using any() function on Python Strings<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
    # Non Empty string returns True\nstring = \"Hello World\"\nprint(any(string))\n\n#  0 is False but the string character of 0 is True \nstring = '000'\nprint(any(string))\n\n# False since empty string and not iterable\nstring = ''\nprint(any(string))<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
    Output<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
    True\nTrue\nFalse<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
    Example 3 \u2013 Using any() function on Python Dictionaries<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
    In the case of a dictionary, only if all the keys(not values<\/strong>) of the dictionary are either false or if the dictionary is empty, the any()<\/code><\/strong> method returns False. If at least one key is true, then any()<\/code><\/strong> returns True.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    # All elements in dictionary are true\ndict = {1: 'Hello', 2: 'World'}\nprint(any(dict))\n\n# All elements in dictionary are false\ndict = {0: 'Hello', False: 'World'}\nprint(any(dict))\n\n\n# Some elements in dictionary are true and rest are false\ndict = {0: 'Hello', 1: 'World', False: 'Welcome'}\nprint(any(dict))\n\n# Empty Dictionary returns false\ndict = {}\nprint(any(dict))\n<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
    Output<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
    True\nFalse\nTrue\nFalse<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
    Example 4 \u2013 Using any() function on Python Tuples<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
    # All elements of tuple are true\nt = (1, 2, 3, 4)\nprint(any(t))\n\n# All elements of tuple are false\nt = (0, False, False)\nprint(any(t))\n\n# Some elements of tuple are true while others are false\nt = (5, 0, 3, 1, False)\nprint(any(t))\n\n# Empty tuple returns false\nt = ()\nprint(any(t))\n<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
    Output<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
    True\nFalse\nTrue\nFalse<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
    Example 5 \u2013 Using any() function on Python Sets<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
    # All elements of set are true\ns = {1, 2, 3, 4}\nprint(any(s))\n\n# All elements of set are false\ns = {0, 0, False}\nprint(any(s))\n\n# Some elements of set are true while others are false\ns = {1, 2, 3, 0, False}\nprint(any(s))\n\n# Empty set returns false\ns = {}\nprint(any(s))\n<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
    Output<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
