Is there any function in Julia to print column names of dataframe ?  
I used names(dataframe) - It gave me the desired output but my dataframe contains 67 features, however the function printed few of them.  
How to get all the names ?

It’s probably just the printing (show), which truncates the vector of names to your available terminal lines.  
You can check if

```julia
length(names(dataframe))

```

gives you `67`.  
Or you can print them all with

```julia
foreach n in names(dataframe)
println(n)
end

```

for example.

`foreach(println, names(dataframe))`

For me

```julia
show(names(df))

```

works in the console.

Similarly to print such a DataFrame

```julia
show(df, allcols=true)

```
