python any and all code example

Example 1: any in python

The any() function takes an iterable (list, string, dictionary etc.) in Python.

The any() function returns the boolean value:

True if at least one element of an iterable is true
False if all elements are false or if an iterable is empty

Example:
some_list = [1, 2, 3]
print(any(some_list)) # True
another_list = []
print(any(another_list)) # False

Example 2: any and all in python3

# Here all the iterables are True so all 
# will return True and the same will be printed 
print (all([True, True, True, True])) 
  
# Here the method will short-circuit at the  
# first item (False) and will return False. 
print (all([False, True, True, False])) 
  
# This statement will return False, as no 
# True is found in the iterables 
print (all([False, False, False]))
