python - iterate list of column names and access to column

Question

I have a DataFrame called df want to iterate the columns_to_encode list and get the value of df.column but I'm getting the following error (as expected). Any idea about how cancould I do it?

columns_to_encode = ['column1','column2','column3']

for column in columns_to_encode:
    df.column 

AttributeError: 'DataFrame' object has no attribute 'column'

slight chagne to your code - do df[column] .dot notation is discouraged for selecting columns — Umar.H

Try this code, this will solve your issue:

columns_to_encode = ['column1','column2','column3']

for column in columns_to_encode:
    df[column]
