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

Syntax

C#
public OrderedSet<T> Union(
	OrderedSet<T> otherSet
)
Visual Basic (Declaration)
Public Function Union ( _
	otherSet As OrderedSet(Of T) _
) As OrderedSet(Of T)
Visual C++
public:
OrderedSet<T>^ Union (
	OrderedSet<T>^ otherSet
)

Parameters

otherSet
OrderedSet<(Of <T>)>
Set to union with.

Return Value

The union of the two sets.

Remarks

If equal items appear in both sets, the union will include an arbitrary choice of one of the two equal items.

The union of two sets is computed in time O(M + N log M), where M is the size of the larger set, and N is the size of the smaller set.

Exceptions

ExceptionCondition
System..::InvalidOperationExceptionThis set and otherSet don't use the same method for comparing items.
