I want to write a root macro with the following codes
int i ;
double total_electrons = 0;
for (i=1;i<11;i++)
{
total_electrons+=histogram_name->GetBinContent(i)*i;
std::cout<<"electron_no"<<total_electrons;
}
My root file is “newFile.root” and it has 5 histograms. I want to run the root macro for 3 of the histograms namely, el_no, e+_no and e-_no. Can someone help me how to write the macro? I am writing this macro in a separate file.
You should create a file named for instance mymacro.C.
The file should be something like:
void mymacro()
{
TFile *f = new TFile("newFile.root");
TH?? * histogram_name = (TH??) f ->Get("el_no") // replace TH?? by the appropriate type of histogram
int i ;
double total_electrons = 0;
for (i=1;i<11;i++) {
total_electrons+=histogram_name->GetBinContent(i)*i;
std::cout<<"electron_no"<<total_electrons;
}
}
