Code for creating three vertical columns in Wordpress Bootstrap theme

Question

I am trying to make Wordpress theme with bootstrap 3.x. This is my first theme and I am experimenting with Wordpress and bootstrap various features. I would like to use Wordpress sticky post feature to create three side by side columns, but I do not know how to do that. If I use

?php if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post();
$mythemename_post_format = get_post_format();
get_template_part('templates/post', $mythemename_post_format);
<?php endif; ?>

all the posts including those which are checked as sticky posts will appear under the three columns I am taking about.

My plan is to add the codes in the following way:

<div class="row">
        <div class="container">
            <div class="col-sm-4">
                <!—code for the first column—>
            </div>
            <div class="col-sm-4">
                <!—code for the second column—>
            </div>
            <div class="col-sm-4">
                <!—code for the third column—>
            </div>
        </div>
    </div>

Any ideas would be appreciated. Regards

<?php if (have_posts()){ ?>
    <?php while(have_posts()){ 
        the_post();
        if(is_sticky()){ ?>
            <div class="col-sm-4">
                <?php //put what you want, Hey you inside the loop now ?>
            </div>
        <?php }else{
                  $mythemename_post_format = get_post_format();
                  get_template_part('templates/post', $mythemename_post_format);
              }
    } ?>
