Examples

The following example demonstrates how to merge two disparate sets. This example creates two HashSet<T> objects and populates them with even and odd numbers, respectively. A third HashSet<T> object is created from the set that contains the even numbers. The example then calls the UnionWith method, which adds the odd number set to the third set.

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:
