[This topic is pre-release documentation and is subject to change in future releases. Blank topics are included as placeholders.]

Computes the symmetric difference of this bag with another bag. The symmetric difference of two bags is all items that appear in either of the bags, but not both. If an item appears X times in one bag, and Y times in the other bag, the symmetric difference contains the item AbsoluteValue(X - Y times). This bag receives the symmetric difference of the two bags; the other bag is unchanged.

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

Syntax

C#
public void SymmetricDifferenceWith( OrderedBag<T> otherBag )

Visual Basic (Declaration)
Public Sub SymmetricDifferenceWith ( _ otherBag As OrderedBag(Of T) _ )

Visual C++
public: void SymmetricDifferenceWith ( OrderedBag<T>^ otherBag )

Parameters

otherBag: OrderedBag<(Of <T>)>
Bag to symmetric difference with.

Remarks

The symmetric difference of two bags is computed in time O(M + N), where M is the size of the larger bag, and N is the size of the smaller bag.

Exceptions

Exception	Condition
System..::InvalidOperationException	This bag and otherBag don't use the same method for comparing items.
System..::ArgumentNullException	otherBag is null.
