C# | Check if a HashSet is a proper subset of the specified collection - Coding

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>.IsProperSubsetOf(IEnumerable<T>) method is used to check whether a HashSet<T> object is a proper subset of the specified collection.

Syntax:

mySet1.IsProperSubsetOf(mySet2);

Here, mySet1 and mySet2 are two HashSets.

Return Value: This method returns True if mySet1 is proper subset of mySet2 otherwise it returns false.

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

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

Example 1:

// C# code to Check if a HashSet is a proper 
// subset of the specified collection 
using System; 
using System.Collections.Generic; 
  
class GFG { 
  
    // Driver code 
    public static void Main() 
    { 
  
        // Creating a HashSet of strings 
        HashSet<string> mySet1 = new HashSet<string>(); 
  
        // 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 proper 
        // subset of the specified collection 
        Console.WriteLine(mySet1.IsProperSubsetOf(mySet2)); 
    } 
} 

Output:

True

Example 2:

// C# code to Check if a HashSet is a proper 
// subset of the specified collection 
using System; 
using System.Collections.Generic; 
  
class GFG { 
  
    // Driver code 
    public static void Main() 
    { 
  
        // Creating a HashSet of integers 
        HashSet<int> mySet1 = new HashSet<int>(); 
  
        // Inserting elements in HashSet 
        mySet1.Add(4); 
        mySet1.Add(8); 
        mySet1.Add(12); 
        mySet1.Add(16); 
  
        // Creating a HashSet of integers 
        HashSet<int> mySet2 = new HashSet<int>(); 
  
        // Inserting elements in HashSet 
        mySet2.Add(4); 
        mySet2.Add(8); 
        mySet2.Add(15); 
        mySet2.Add(20); 
  
        // Check if a HashSet is a proper 
        // subset of the specified collection 
        Console.WriteLine(mySet1.IsProperSubsetOf(mySet2)); 
    } 
} 

Output:

False
