Intersect two Arrays
The Array class provides methods for creating, manipulating, searching,
and sorting arrays. The Array class is not part of the System.Collections
namespaces. However, it is still considered a collection because it is based
on the IList interface. An element is a value in an Array. The length of an
Array is the total number of elements it can contain. The Array has a fixed
capacity.
The following .net c# tutorial code demonstrates how we can intersect two array instances. But there is no built-in method in the Array class two intersect two Array objects. So in this .net c# tutorial code, we will use Enumerable Intersect() method to intersect two Array instances. Here we will intersect two integer-type Array instances.
The Enumerable Intersect() method produces the set intersection of two sequences. This method is located under System.Linq namespace. The Enumerable Intersect<TSource>(IEnumerable<TSource>, IEnumerable<TSource>) method overload produces the set intersection of two sequences by using the default equality comparer to compare values.
The Intersect(first, second) method’s first parameter is an IEnumerable<T> whose distinct elements that also appear in the second will be returned. The second parameter is an IEnumerable<T> whose distinct elements that also appear in the first sequence will be returned.
The Enumerable Intersect() method returns a sequence that contains the elements that form the set intersection of two sequences. The Intersect(first, second) method throws ArgumentNullException if the first or second is null.
