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

Get the minimum value 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.

Examples

>>> df = pl.DataFrame(
...     {
...         "a": [1, 8, 3],
...         "b": [4, 5, None],
...         "c": ["x", "y", "z"],
...     }
... )
>>> df.with_columns(min=pl.min_horizontal("a", "b"))
