Extracting specific columns in numpy array

Question

This is an easy question but say I have an MxN matrix. All I want to do is extract specific columns and store them in another numpy array but I get invalid syntax errors. He

I think the solution here is not working with an update of the python version anymore, one way to do it with a new python function for it is:

extracted_data = data[['Column Name1','Column Name2']].to_numpy()

which gives you the desired outcome.

The documentation you can find here: https://pandas.pydata.org/pandas-docs/stable/reference/api/pandas.DataFrame.to_numpy.html#pandas.DataFrame.to_numpy
