Bag<(Of <(<'T>)>)>..::..SymmetricDifferenceWith Method

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


public void SymmetricDifferenceWith(
	Bag<T> otherBag
)
Public Sub SymmetricDifferenceWith ( _
	otherBag As Bag(Of T) _
)
public:
void SymmetricDifferenceWith(
	Bag<T>^ otherBag
)

Parameters

otherBag
Type: Wintellect.PowerCollections..::..Bag<(Of <(<'T>)>)>
Bag to symmetric difference with.

Exceptions


ExceptionCondition
InvalidOperationExceptionThis bag and otherBag don't use the same method for comparing items.

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.
