Determines if two collections are disjoint, considered as sets. Two sets are disjoint if they have no common items.

Namespace: Wintellect.PowerCollections
Assembly:  PowerCollections (in PowerCollections.dll)

Syntax

C#
public static bool DisjointSets<T>(
	IEnumerable<T> collection1,
	IEnumerable<T> collection2,
	IEqualityComparer<T> equalityComparer
)
Visual Basic (Declaration)
Public Shared Function DisjointSets(Of T) ( _
	collection1 As IEnumerable(Of T), _
	collection2 As IEnumerable(Of T), _
	equalityComparer As IEqualityComparer(Of T) _
) As Boolean
Visual C++
public:
generic<typename T>
static bool DisjointSets (
	IEnumerable<T>^ collection1, 
	IEnumerable<T>^ collection2, 
	IEqualityComparer<T>^ equalityComparer
)

Parameters

collection1
IEnumerable<(Of <T>)>
The first collection.
collection2
IEnumerable<(Of <T>)>
The second collection.
equalityComparer
IEqualityComparer<(Of <T>)>
The IEqualityComparerComparer<T> used to compare items for equality. Only the Equals and GetHashCode member functions of this interface are called.

Return Value

True if collection1 are collection2 are disjoint, considered as sets.

Type Parameters

T

Remarks

If both collections are Set, Bag, OrderedSet, or OrderedBag collections, it is more efficient to use the IsDisjoint method on that class.

Exceptions

ExceptionCondition
System..::ArgumentNullExceptioncollection1 or collection2 is null.
