# Accessing the column data types
# -------------------------------
# To access the :py:class:`~hdmf.common.table.VectorData` or
# :py:class:`~hdmf.common.table.VectorIndex` object representing a column, you
# can use three different methods. Use the column name in square brackets, e.g.,
# ``table[col_name]``, use the
# :py:meth:`DynamicTable.get <hdmf.common.table.DynamicTable.get>` method, or
# use the column name as an attribute, e.g., ``table.col_name``.
table['col1']
table.get(
'col1'
) # equivalent to table['col1'] except this returns None if 'col1' is not found
table.get('col1', default=0) # you can change the default return value
table.col1
###############################################################################
# .. note::
#
# Using the column name as an attribute does NOT work if the column name is
# the same as a non-column name attribute or method of the
# :py:class:`~hdmf.common.table.DynamicTable` class,
# e.g., ``name``, ``description``, ``object_id``, ``parent``, ``modified``.
###############################################################################
# If the column is a ragged array, then the methods above will return the
# :py:class:`~hdmf.common.table.VectorIndex` associated with the ragged array.
