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). A new bag is
created with the symmetric difference of the bags and is returned. This bag and the other bag
are unchanged.

Syntax
| C# |
|---|
public OrderedBag<T> SymmetricDifference( OrderedBag<T> otherBag ) |
| Visual Basic (Declaration) |
|---|
Public Function SymmetricDifference ( _ otherBag As OrderedBag(Of T) _ ) As OrderedBag(Of T) |
| Visual C++ |
|---|
public: OrderedBag<T>^ SymmetricDifference ( OrderedBag<T>^ otherBag ) |
Parameters
- otherBag
- OrderedBag<(Of <T>)>
Bag to symmetric difference with.
Return Value
The symmetric difference of the two bags.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. |
