_A_r_e _S_o_m_e _V_a_l_u_e_s _T_r_u_e?

_D_e_s_c_r_i_p_t_i_o_n:

     Given a set of logical vectors, are any of the values true?

_U_s_a_g_e:

     any(..., na.rm = FALSE)

_A_r_g_u_m_e_n_t_s:

     ...: one or more logical vectors.  Other objects are coerced in a
          similar way as 'as.logical.default'.

   na.rm: logical.  If true 'NA' values are removed before the result
          is computed.

_D_e_t_a_i_l_s:

     This is a generic function: methods can be defined for it directly
     or via the 'Summary' group generic.

_V_a_l_u_e:

     Given a sequence of logical arguments, a logical value indicating
     whether or not any of the elements of 'x' are 'TRUE'.

     The value returned is 'TRUE' if any the values in 'x' are 'TRUE',
     and 'FALSE' if all the values in 'x' are 'FALSE'.

     If 'na.rm = FALSE' and 'x' consists of a mix of 'FALSE' and 'NA'
     values, the value is 'NA'.

_N_o_t_e:

     Prior to R 2.1.0, only 'NULL' and logical, integer, numeric and
     complex vectors were accepted.

_R_e_f_e_r_e_n_c_e_s:

     Becker, R. A., Chambers, J. M. and Wilks, A. R. (1988) _The New S
     Language_. Wadsworth & Brooks/Cole.

_S_e_e _A_l_s_o:

     'all', the "complement" of 'any'.

_E_x_a_m_p_l_e_s:

     range(x <- sort(round(rnorm(10) - 1.2,1)))
     if(any(x < 0)) cat("x contains negative values\n")
