This video helped a lot, it was my first day trying panda, i am no expert but as a beginners I think this is very useful.

@Sunil_Manohar

Very useful. Thanks.

@DrewLevitt

So many problems with this video. One big one is that you never explain WHY you would want to iterate over the rows of a DF - but even bigger than that is that you never explain that you usually SHOULDN'T loop over the rows! It is WAY slower to iterate over rows than to do columnar (vectorized) operations, and indeed, learning to think in vectorized steps is a key to getting good at pandas.

Then there are sloppy details... for instance, in the .loc section, you iterate over range(len(df)) instead of df.index. This only works in your example because df happens to have a RangeIndex. To be safe with .loc, you should iterate over df.index itself, or else use .iloc if you're going to iterate over a range.

I suppose for someone getting started with pandas, this video could be helpful insofar as it shows the basic syntax and options for row-wise operations, but you are doing that inexperienced viewer a disservice by failing to discuss the WHY and the WHY NOT around the whole topic.

Someone mentioned using Vectorize, but I kind of think using Vectorize might not be good for large DataFrame's because of the overhead of converting a DF into a numpy array. Not tested yet.

@johngwheeler

This is useful but you haven’t answered the fundamental question of when I should use each method! Which is most efficient?

@naajidsarosh2881

Bro, in the 2nd method you can just write df.loc(index, ['col1', 'col2', 'col3']) rather than writing df.loc again and again

@kishorep3668

Lambda is the fastest method? Can we get multiple columns using Lambda method?

Please I can't see the fonts clearly

2nd method me loc index data use krta he iss example me index range tha nahi toh error aata meri csv file me index datetime object tha isliye error aaya 2nd example me df.index use krna tha loop me ..... Not a proper video and explaination
