<p><a name="index-ANY-401"></a><a name="index-array_002c-apply-condition-402"></a><a name="index-array_002c-condition-testing-403"></a>
<dl>
<dt><em>Description</em>:<dd><code>ANY(MASK [, DIM])</code> determines if any of the values in the logical array
<var>MASK</var> along dimension <var>DIM</var> are <code>.TRUE.</code>.
<br><dt><em>Standard</em>:<dd>Fortran 95 and later
<br><dt><em>Class</em>:<dd>Transformational function
<br><dt><em>Syntax</em>:<dd><code>RESULT = ANY(MASK [, DIM])</code>
<br><dt><em>Arguments</em>:<dd>
<p><table summary=""><tr align="left"><td valign="top" width="15%"><var>MASK</var> </td><td valign="top" width="70%">The type of the argument shall be <code>LOGICAL</code> and
it shall not be scalar.
<br></td></tr><tr align="left"><td valign="top" width="15%"><var>DIM</var> </td><td valign="top" width="70%">(Optional) <var>DIM</var> shall be a scalar integer
with a value that lies between one and the rank of <var>MASK</var>.
<br></td></tr></table>
<br><dt><em>Return value</em>:<dd><code>ANY(MASK)</code> returns a scalar value of type <code>LOGICAL</code> where
the kind type parameter is the same as the kind type parameter of
<var>MASK</var>. If <var>DIM</var> is present, then <code>ANY(MASK, DIM)</code> returns
an array with the rank of <var>MASK</var> minus 1. The shape is determined from
the shape of <var>MASK</var> where the <var>DIM</var> dimension is elided.
<dl>
<dt>(A)<dd><code>ANY(MASK)</code> is true if any element of <var>MASK</var> is true;
otherwise, it is false. It also is false if <var>MASK</var> has zero size.
<br><dt>(B)<dd>If the rank of <var>MASK</var> is one, then <code>ANY(MASK,DIM)</code> is equivalent
to <code>ANY(MASK)</code>. If the rank is greater than one, then <code>ANY(MASK,DIM)</code>
is determined by applying <code>ANY</code> to the array sections.
</dl>
<br><dt><em>Example</em>:<dd>
<pre class="smallexample"> program test_any
logical l
l = any((/.true., .true., .true./))
print *, l

subroutine section
integer a(2,3), b(2,3)
