Check if two HashSet objects are equal in C#

To check if two HashSet objects are equal, the code is as follows −

Example

 Live Demo

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
public class Demo {
   public static void Main(String[] args) {
      HashSet<string> set1 = new HashSet<string>();
      set1.Add("A");
      set1.Add("B");
      set1.Add("C");
      set1.Add("D");
      set1.Add("E");
      set1.Add("F");
      set1.Add("G");
      set1.Add("H");
      Console.WriteLine("Elements in HashSet1...");
      foreach (string res in set1) {
         Console.WriteLine(res);
      }
      HashSet<string> set2 = new HashSet<string>();
      set2.Add("John");
      set2.Add("Jacob");
      set2.Add("Ryan");
      set2.Add("Tom");
      set2.Add("Andy");
      set2.Add("Tim");
      set2.Add("Steve");
      set2.Add("Mark");
      Console.WriteLine("Elements in HashSet2...");
      foreach (string res in set2) {
         Console.WriteLine(res);
      }
      HashSet<string> set3 = new HashSet<string>();
      set3 = set2;
      Console.WriteLine("Is HashSet3 equal to HashSet2? = "+set3.Equals(set2));
   }
}

Output

This will produce the following output −

Elements in HashSet1...
A
B
C
D
E
F
G
H
Elements in HashSet2...
John
Jacob
Ryan
Tom
Andy
Tim
Steve
Mark
Is HashSet3 equal to HashSet2? = True

Example

Let us see another example −

 Live Demo

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
public class Demo {
   public static void Main(String[] args){
      HashSet<string> set1 = new HashSet<string>();
      set1.Add("A");
      set1.Add("B");
      set1.Add("C");
      set1.Add("D");
      set1.Add("E");
      set1.Add("F");
      set1.Add("G");
      set1.Add("H");
      Console.WriteLine("Elements in HashSet1...");
      foreach (string res in set1){
         Console.WriteLine(res);
      }
      HashSet<string> set2 = new HashSet<string>();
      set2.Add("John");
      set2.Add("Jacob");
      set2.Add("Ryan");
      set2.Add("Tom");
      set2.Add("Andy");
      set2.Add("Tim");
      set2.Add("Steve");
      set2.Add("Mark");
      Console.WriteLine("Elements in HashSet2...");
      foreach (string res in set2){
         Console.WriteLine(res);
      }
      Console.WriteLine("Is HashSet2 equal to HashSet1? = "+set2.Equals(set1));
   }
}

Output

This will produce the following output −

Elements in HashSet1...
A
B
C
D
E
F
G
H
Elements in HashSet2...
John
Jacob
Ryan
Tom
Andy
Tim
Steve
Mark
Is HashSet2 equal to HashSet1? = False
