polars.any_horizontal#

polars.any_horizontal(*exprs: IntoExpr | Iterable[IntoExpr]) → Expr[source]#

Compute the bitwise OR horizontally across columns.

Parameters:

*exprs: Column(s) to use in the aggregation. Accepts expression input. Strings are parsed as column names, other non-expression inputs are parsed as literals.

Notes

Kleene logic is used to deal with nulls: if the column contains any null values and no True values, the output is null.

Examples

>>> df = pl.DataFrame(
...     {
...         "a": [False, False, True, True, False, None],
...         "b": [False, True, True, None, None, None],
...         "c": ["u", "v", "w", "x", "y", "z"],
...     }
... )
>>> df.with_columns(any=pl.any_horizontal("a", "b"))
shape: (6, 4)
