Hi Andre,
I agree with you and will make the correction in the User's Guide.

Thanks,

Subject: small typo in user's guide ?


Hi,

I suspect a small typo in the Root User's Guide (V0.7)
on page 246 (260 in the pdf) / paragraph 'the TObjArray collection'
in the code box:


   for (int i = 0; i < fArr.GetLast(); i++)

shouldn't it be

  i <= fArr.GetLast()

?

At least according to the reference guide says:

  Int_t GetEntries() const
   Return the number of objects in array (i.e. number of non-empty
slots).
   Attention: use this method ONLY if you want to know the number of
   non-empty slots. This function loops over the complete array and
   is therefore very slow when applied in a loop. Most of the time you
   better use GetLast()+1.

and also I get a more correct behaviour using <= ...GetLast() trying
to get the names of variables in an ntuple.

best regards,

André
