C# | Check if a HashSet is a superset of the specified collection

A HashSet is an unordered collection of the unique elements. It comes under System.Collections.Generic namespace. It is used in a situation where we want to prevent duplicates from being inserted in the collection. As far as performance is concerned, it is better in comparison to the list. HashSet<T>.IsSupersetOf(IEnumerable) method is used to check whether a HashSet object is a superset of the specified collection or not.

Syntax:

mySet1.IsSupersetOf(mySet2);

Here, mySet1 and mySet2 are the two HashSets.



Return Value: This method returns True if the HashSet object is a superset of another subset otherwise it retunrs False.

Exception: This method will give ArgumentNullException if the HashSet is null.

Below given are some examples to understand the implementation in a better way:

Example 1:

filter_none

        // Inserting elements in HashSet
        mySet1.Add("Geeks");
        mySet1.Add("GeeksQuiz");
  
        // Creating a HashSet of strings
        HashSet<string> mySet2 = new HashSet<string>();
  
        // Inserting elements in HashSet
        mySet2.Add("DS");
        mySet2.Add("C++");
        mySet2.Add("Java");
        mySet2.Add("JavaScript");
        mySet2.Add("GeeksQuiz");
        mySet2.Add("Geeks");
  
        // Check if a HashSet is a superset
        // of the specified collection
        // It should return true as HashSet mySet2
        // is superset of HashSet mySet1
        Console.WriteLine(mySet2.IsSupersetOf(mySet1));
    }
}
