polars.Expr.list.get

Expr.list.get(index: int | Expr | str, *, null_on_oob: bool = True) → Expr

Get the value by index in the sublists.

So index 0 would return the first item of every sublist and index -1 would return the last item of every sublist if an index is out of bounds, it will return a None.

Parameters:

index

Index to return per sublist

null_on_oob

Behavior if an index is out of bounds: True -> set as null False -> raise an error

Examples

>>> df = pl.DataFrame({"a": [[3, 2, 1], [], [1, 2]]})
>>> df.with_columns(get=pl.col("a").list.get(0))
shape: (3, 2)
