Credential: I do not know, but I, at least, am 4 years experienced; I am still learning C and Assembly.

What is any and all in Python?

By Python definition, any will return if there is an item whereby true in a list, whereas all will return if all items are true in a list.

It looks like the operator or and and for any and all. It is actually easy to implement in C, Assembly, or any other language.

Here are examples of the function any,

any([true, false, false])   # Result in True
any([false, false, false])  # Result in False

Here are examples of the function all,

all([true, true, true])     # Result in True
all([true, true, false])    # Result in False

Implementation in C for any,

// My algorithm for "any"
int any(int* arr, int size) {
    int i = 0, t = 0;
    for (; i < size - 1 ; i += 2) {
        t += arr[i] + arr[i + 1];
    }
    return (t + arr[size % i]) && 1;
}

With a O(log n) time complexity and O(1) space complexity.

Implementation in C for all,

// My algorithm for "all"
int all(int* arr, int size) {
    int i = 0, t = 0;
    for (; i < size - 1 ; i += 2) {
        t += arr[i] + arr[i + 1];
    }
    return (t + (i % size && arr[size % i]) > (i >> 1));
}

With a O(log n) time complexity and O(1) space complexity.

I will explain how the algorithm works in another post.

How to use any,

# Real world application
if any(person.alive for person in people):
    myself.shout("Who is dead?")

How to use all,

# Real world application
if all(person.alive for person in people):
    myself.shout("We are safe!")
