Example

The following code illustrates the use of the IsSubsetOf method.

let set1 = Set.ofList [ 1 .. 6 ]
let set2 = Set.ofList [ 1 .. 5 ]
let set3 = Set.ofList [ 1 .. 6 ]
let set4 = Set.ofList [ 5 .. 10 ]
printfn "%A is a subset of %A: %b" set2 set1 (set2.IsSubsetOf set1)
printfn "%A is a subset of %A: %b" set3 set1 (set3.IsSubsetOf set1) 
printfn "%A is a subset of %A: %b" set4 set1 (set4.IsSubsetOf set1) 

Output

set [1; 2; 3; 4; 5] is a subset of set [1; 2; 3; 4; 5; 6]: true
set [1; 2; 3; 4; 5; 6] is a subset of set [1; 2; 3; 4; 5; 6]: true
set [5; 6; 7; 8; 9; 10] is a subset of set [1; 2; 3; 4; 5; 6]: true
