Get distinct list between two lists in C#

Question

I have two lists of strings. How do I get the list of distinct values between them or remove the second list elements from the first list?

List<string> list1 = { "see","you","live"}  List<string> list2 = { "see"} 

The result should be {"you","live"}.

Answer 1

It looks to me like you need Enumerable.Except():

var differences = list1.Except(list2); 

And then you can loop through the differences:

foreach(var difference in differences) {     // work with each individual string here. }
