    df = ROOT.RDataFrame(100)
    df.Define("b1", "(int) rdfentry_")\
      .Define("b2", "(float) rdfentry_ * rdfentry_").Snapshot(treeName, fileName)

fill_tree(treeName, fileName)
 
# We read the tree from the file and create a RDataFrame.
d = ROOT.RDataFrame(treeName, fileName)
 
# ## Usage of ranges
# Now we'll count some entries using ranges
c_all = d.Count()
 
# This is how you can express a range of the first 30 entries
d_0_30 = d.Range(30) 
c_0_30 = d_0_30.Count()
 
# This is how you pick all entries from 15 onwards
d_15_end = d.Range(15, 0)
c_15_end = d_15_end.Count()
 
# We can use a stride too, in this case we pick an event every 3 entries
d_15_end_3 = d.Range(15, 0, 3)
c_15_end_3 = d_15_end_3.Count()
 
# The Range here acts first on the (whole) RDataFrame graph:
# Not only actions (like Count) but also filters and new columns can be added to it.
d_0_50 = d.Range(50)
c_0_50_odd_b1 = d_0_50.Filter("1 == b1 % 2").Count()
 
# An important thing to notice is that the counts of a filter are relative to the
# number of entries a filter "sees". Therefore, if a Range depends on a filter,
# the Range will act on the entries passing the filter only.
c_0_3_after_even_b1 = d.Filter("0 == b1 % 2").Range(0, 3).Count()
 
# Ok, time to wrap up: let's print all counts!
