ArrayNumericExpression

class hail.expr.ArrayNumericExpression[source]

Expression of type tarray with a numeric type.

Numeric arrays support arithmetic both with scalar values and other arrays. Arithmetic between two numeric arrays requires that the length of each array is identical, and will apply the operation positionally (a1 * a2 will multiply the first element of a1 by the first element of a2, the second element of a1 by the second element of a2, and so on). Arithmetic with a scalar will apply the operation to each element of the array.

>>> a1 = hl.literal([0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5])
>>> a2 = hl.literal([1, -1, 1, -1, 1, -1])

Returns:

BooleanExpression. – True if f returns True for every element, False otherwise.

Examples

>>> hl.eval(a.any(lambda x: x % 2 == 0))
True
>>> hl.eval(s3.any(lambda x: x[0] == 'D'))

Notes

This method always returns False for empty collections.

Parameters:

Note

This method does not mutate the caller, but instead returns a new array by copying the caller and adding item.

Parameters:

item (Expression) – Element to append, same type as the array element type.

Returns:

ArrayExpression

collect(_localize=True)

Collect all records of an expression into a local list.

Examples

>>> hl.eval(names.contains('Charlie'))
True
>>> hl.eval(names.contains('Helen'))
False
Parameters:

Warning

This method takes time proportional to the length of the array. If a pipeline uses this method on the same array several times, it may be more efficient to convert the array to a set first early in the script (set()).

Notes

For entry-indexed expressions, if there is one column key field, the result of calling str() on that field is used as the column header. Otherwise, each compound column key is converted to JSON and used as a column header. For example:

>>> small_mt = small_mt.key_cols_by(s=small_mt.sample_idx, family='fam1')
>>> small_mt.GT.export('output/gt-no-header.tsv')
>>> with open('output/gt-no-header.tsv', 'r') as f:
...     for line in f:
...         print(line, end='')
locus   alleles {"s":0,"family":"fam1"} {"s":1,"family":"fam1"} {"s":2,"family":"fam1"} {"s":3,"family":"fam1"}
1:1     ["A","C"]       0/1     0/0     0/1     0/0
1:2     ["A","C"]       1/1     0/1     0/1     0/1
1:3     ["A","C"]       0/0     0/1     0/0     0/0
