Iterate over rows in Pandas Dataframe (All Different ways)



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

Iterating over rows using index attribute :

Ankit Math
Amit Commerce
Aishwarya Arts
Priyanka Biology

Method #2 : Using loc[] function 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 loc function :\n")

# iterate through each row and select 
# 'Name' and 'Age' column respectively.
for i in range(len(df)) :
  print(df.loc[i, "Name"], df.loc[i, "Age"])

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

Iterating over rows using loc function :

Amit 19
Aishwarya 20
Priyanka 18

Method #3 : Using iloc[] function 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 iloc function :\n")

# iterate through each row and select 
# 0th and 2nd index column respectively.
for i in range(len(df)) :
  print(df.iloc[i, 0], df.iloc[i, 2])



Output:
Given Dataframe :
         Name  Age    Stream  Percentage
0      Ankit   21      Math          88
1       Amit   19  Commerce          92
2  Aishwarya   20      Arts          95

Method #4 : Using iterrows() method 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 apply function :\n")
