Expr.sum() → Expr

Get sum value.

Notes

• Dtypes in {Int8, UInt8, Int16, UInt16} are cast to Int64 before summing to prevent overflow issues.
• If there are no non-null values, then the output is 0. If you would prefer empty sums to return None, you can use pl.when(expr.count()>0).then(expr.sum()) instead of expr.sum().

Examples

>>> df = pl.DataFrame({"a": [-1, 0, 1]})
>>> df.select(pl.col("a").sum())
shape: (1, 1)
