\HeaderA{any}{Are Some Values True?}{any}
\keyword{logic}{any}
\begin{Description}\relax
Given a set of logical vectors, is at least one of the values true?
\end{Description}
\begin{Usage}
\begin{verbatim}
any(..., na.rm = FALSE)
\end{verbatim}
\end{Usage}
\begin{Arguments}
\begin{ldescription}
\item[\code{...}] zero or more logical vectors.  Other objects are coerced in
a similar way to \code{as.logical.default}.
\item[\code{na.rm}] logical.  If true \code{NA} values are removed before
the result is computed.
\end{ldescription}
\end{Arguments}
\begin{Details}\relax
This is a generic function: methods can be defined for it
directly or via the \code{\LinkA{Summary}{Summary}} group generic.
For this to work properly, the arguments \code{...} should be
unnamed, and dispatch is on the first argument.
\end{Details}
\begin{Value}
The value is a logical vector of length one.

Let \code{x} denote the concatenation of all the logical vectors in
\code{...} (after coercion), after removing \code{NA}s if requested by
\code{na.rm = TRUE}.

The value returned is \code{TRUE} if at least one of the values in
\code{x} is \code{TRUE}, and \code{FALSE} if all of the values in
\code{x} are \code{FALSE} (including if there are no values).  Otherwise
the value is \code{NA} (which can only occur if \code{na.rm = FALSE}
and \code{...} contains no \code{TRUE} values and at least one
\code{NA} value).
\end{Value}
\begin{Section}{S4 methods}
This is part of the S4 \code{\LinkA{Summary}{Summary}}
group generic.  Methods for it must use the signature
\code{x, ..., na.rm}.
