Here's a breakdown of the code:

Plot the histogram: df[column].plot(kind='hist', title=f'Histogram for {column}') to plot a histogram for the current column.

Conclusion
Running the above steps will result in individual histograms for each column in the DataFrame, providing a clear visual representation of the data distributions.

By following this guide, you can create informative histograms effortlessly, aiding in your data analysis process. Don't hesitate to experiment with additional parameters in matplotlib to customize your histograms further.

Happy coding!
