Trying to get distinct values from two List objects

Question

I have 2 List objects:

List lst1 = new List();
List lst2 = new List();

Let\'s say they have val

Answer 1

EDIT: thanks to the comments you need to do some extra work besides just using Except to get a symmetric difference. If an additional value is added to the 2nd list Except alone would be incorrect. To get the proper result try this:

var list1 = new List(Enumerable.Range(1,4));
var list2 = new List { 1, 4, 6 };

var result = list1.Except(list2).Union(list2.Except(list1));

The above returns {2, 3, 6}.

Note that you'll need to add a ToList() if you really need a List, otherwise the above operation will return an IEnumerable.

Use the Enumerable.Except method, which produces the set difference of two sequences:

var result = lst1.Except(lst2);
