HashSet<T>.Count Property

Definition

Gets the number of elements that are contained in a set.

public:
 property int Count { int get(); };
public int Count { get; }
member this.Count : int
Public ReadOnly Property Count As Integer

Property Value

The number of elements that are contained in the set.

Implements

Examples

The following example demonstrates how to create, populate, and manipulate two HashSet<T> objects. In this example, both the contents of the set and Count display to the console.

HashSet<int> evenNumbers = new HashSet<int>();
HashSet<int> oddNumbers = new HashSet<int>();

for (int i = 0; i < 5; i++)
{
    // Populate numbers with just even numbers.
    evenNumbers.Add(i * 2);

    // Populate oddNumbers with just odd numbers.
    oddNumbers.Add((i * 2) + 1);
}

Console.Write("evenNumbers contains {0} elements: ", evenNumbers.Count);
DisplaySet(evenNumbers);

Console.Write("oddNumbers contains {0} elements: ", oddNumbers.Count);
DisplaySet(oddNumbers);

// Create a new HashSet populated with even numbers.
HashSet<int> numbers = new HashSet<int>(evenNumbers);
Console.WriteLine("numbers UnionWith oddNumbers...");
numbers.UnionWith(oddNumbers);

Console.Write("numbers contains {0} elements: ", numbers.Count);
DisplaySet(numbers);

void DisplaySet(HashSet<int> collection)
{
    Console.Write("{");
    foreach (int i in collection)
    {
        Console.Write(" {0}", i);
    }
    Console.WriteLine(" }");
}

/* This example produces output similar to the following:
* evenNumbers contains 5 elements: { 0 2 4 6 8 }
* oddNumbers contains 5 elements: { 1 3 5 7 9 }
* numbers UnionWith oddNumbers...
* numbers contains 10 elements: { 0 2 4 6 8 1 3 5 7 9 }
*/

let displaySet (collection: HashSet<int>) =
    printf "{"

    for i in collection do
        printf $" {i}"

    printfn " }"

let evenNumbers = HashSet<int>()
let oddNumbers = HashSet<int>()

for i = 0 to 4 do
    // Populate numbers with just even numbers.
    evenNumbers.Add(i * 2) |> ignore

    // Populate oddNumbers with just odd numbers.
    oddNumbers.Add(i * 2 + 1) |> ignore

printf $"evenNumbers contains {evenNumbers.Count} elements: "
displaySet evenNumbers

printf $"oddNumbers contains {oddNumbers.Count} elements: "
displaySet oddNumbers

// Create a new HashSet populated with even numbers.
let numbers = HashSet<int> evenNumbers
printfn "numbers UnionWith oddNumbers..."
numbers.UnionWith oddNumbers

printf $"numbers contains {numbers.Count} elements: "
displaySet numbers
// This example produces output similar to the following:
//    evenNumbers contains 5 elements: { 0 2 4 6 8 }
//    oddNumbers contains 5 elements: { 1 3 5 7 9 }
//    numbers UnionWith oddNumbers...
//    numbers contains 10 elements: { 0 2 4 6 8 1 3 5 7 9 }

Remarks

The capacity of a HashSet<T> object is the number of elements that the object can hold. A HashSet<T> object's capacity automatically increases as elements are added to the object.

The capacity is always greater than or equal to Count. If Count exceeds the capacity while adding elements, the capacity is set to the first prime number that is greater than double the previous capacity.

Retrieving the value of this property is an O(1) operation.
