How to get the Min and max value from a tree variable

Newbie
1

Hello Rooters,
I need to get the Min and Max value from the tree variable.
I have 4 variables.
QSq,xBj , ixB(xB bin numbers), jQ2(QSq bin numbers)
I can read the variables properly.
But I need to find the QSq min and max values from each bin.

When I introduce following line.my root session exit unexpectedly.
Q2Min[j]= tree->GetMinimum(“QSq”);

Please see attached code and my root file.Could you please help me to figure this out?

Thanks
Dil

May be it is s stupid question, but why not simply do:

% root xBQ2binning.root

Hello,
Yes,I can do what you mentioned without introducing binning.
But I need to find the Q2 [min,max] value inside each bin and generate some uniform random numbers.

Thanks

So you what to work on the resulting histogram.

xBQ2binning_tree->Draw("QSq","","goff")
->now htemp is ready to be used .....
