I have to learn the basics of programming now, I run into a little problem of set
I'd like to get the union of 2 numeric sets. Is there a built-in function for me to do this ?
Thanks :)

:confused: set, union, what :confused: specify the problem exactly. Which context are you talking about numeric sets? :confused:
There is nothing like Union in C# This was an old C++ feature I think mostly used in structures as much as I remember. Forget this in modern OOP using C#Quote:

But you need
a) learning the features like classes, Generics, delegates, interfaces,
and tools like Indexers, boxing, unboxing
b) learning how to use restrictions in generics and other specialities
c) learning the design patterns and how they are done in this language
d) doing lots of examples
BUT FORGET THE OLD PATTERNS and dont try to 'transform' them into the new language. Thats bullsh.. ;)
As he is talking about sets he means 'union' to be the union of two sets, i.e. the set which contains all members of the original sets.Quote:

There isn't a built-in union method, but all you have to do is make an empty set, then add all the items in set 1 and all the items in set 2.
Hmm ...If he is talking about HashSet : There is UnionWith() method and he maybe wants to use this Here is an exampleQuote:

Ah - I didn't see the UnionWith() method. I don't use C# myself - I just googled it. :)
But yes, this looks like the best way to do it.
But it was the right hint into the direction, because as I had done years in old C ( before C++ ) and Union was 'that' theme there in the first structures we did so I didn't look that he wrotes about 'set' :wave:Quote:

Then you google there question and 500 results show up on the first page. If ppl don't know how to use a computer, how to use google or how to post a simple thread, I don't know how they think they are going to program anything. If you cause use a computer, you can't program a computer.
They can't even take 3 seconds to read the rules of posting or use code tags. Why should ppl here take more then 3 seconds trying to help them?
Sometimes I'm going with you ;) because its frustrating if you do a half an hour work for someone e.g creating and testing an rege expression and the answer to the post is... nothing The poster simple changes the thread title to resolved and thats all. Not even - thx or something to show some manners :rolleyes:Quote:
