Different ways to iterate over rows in Pandas Dataframe

Python is a great language for doing data analysis, primarily because of the fantastic ecosystem of data-centric Python packages. Pandas is one of those packages and makes importing and analyzing data much easier.

Let’s see the Different ways to iterate over rows in Pandas Dataframe :

Method #1 : Using index attribute of the Dataframe .

# import pandas package as pd
import pandas as pd
  
# Define a dictionary containing students data
data = {'Name': ['Ankit', 'Amit', 'Aishwarya', 'Priyanka'],
                'Age': [21, 19, 20, 18],
                'Stream': ['Math', 'Commerce', 'Arts', 'Biology'],
                'Percentage': [88, 92, 95, 70]}
  
# Convert the dictionary into DataFrame
df = pd.DataFrame(data, columns = ['Name', 'Age', 'Stream', 'Percentage'])
  
print("Given Dataframe :\n", df)
  
print("\nIterating over rows using index attribute :\n")
  
# iterate through each row and select 
# 'Name' and 'Stream' column respectively.
for ind in df.index:
     print(df['Name'][ind], df['Stream'][ind])

Output:


Given Dataframe :
         Name  Age    Stream  Percentage
0      Ankit   21      Math          88
1       Amit   19  Commerce          92
2  Aishwarya   20      Arts          95
3   Priyanka   18   Biology          70
