HashSet<T>::SymmetricExceptWith Method (IEnumerable<T>^)

 

Modifies the current HashSet<T> object to contain only elements that are present either in that object or in the specified collection, but not both.

Namespace:   System.Collections.Generic
Assembly:  System.Core (in System.Core.dll)

public:
virtual void SymmetricExceptWith(
	IEnumerable<T>^ other
) sealed

Parameters

other
Type: System.Collections.Generic::IEnumerable<T>^

The collection to compare to the current HashSet<T> object.

Exception Condition
ArgumentNullException

other is null.

If the other parameter is a HashSet<T> collection with the same equality comparer as the current HashSet<T> object, this method is an O(n) operation. Otherwise, this method is an O(n + m) operation, where n is the number of elements in other and m is Count.

The following example creates two HashSet<T> collections with overlapping sets of data. The set that contains the lower values is then modified, using the SymmetricExceptWith method, to contain only the values that are not present in both sets.
