How to apply a logical operator to all elements in a python list

Question

I have a list of booleans in python. I want to AND (or OR or NOT) them and get the result. The following code works but is not very pythonic.

def apply_and(alist         


        

Answer 1

Here's another solution:

def my_and(a_list):
    return not (False in a_list)

def my_or(a_list):
    return True in a_list

ANDing all elements will return True if all elements are True, hence no False in a list. ORing is similar, but it should return True if at least one True value is present in a list.
