HashSet<T>.IsProperSupersetOf Method

Microsoft Silverlight will reach end of support after October 2021. Learn more.

Determines whether a HashSet<T> object is a proper superset of the specified collection.

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

Syntax

'Declaration
Public Function IsProperSupersetOf ( _
    other As IEnumerable(Of T) _
) As Boolean

public bool IsProperSupersetOf(
    IEnumerable<T> other
)

Parameters

Return Value

Type: System.Boolean
true if the HashSet<T> object is a proper superset of other; otherwise, false.

Implements

ISet<T>.IsProperSupersetOf(IEnumerable<T>)

Exceptions

Exception Condition
ArgumentNullException

other is nulla null reference (Nothing in Visual Basic).

Remarks

An empty set is a proper superset of any other collection. Therefore, this method returns true if the collection represented by the other parameter is empty unless the current HashSet<T> collection is also empty.

This method always returns false if Count is less than or equal to the number of elements in other.

If the collection represented by other 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.
