nurkanat amirov I don't know if c# has a built-in function for that, so I would iterate trough dic A and check if value exists in dic b swap keys with values, make domains keys, and then loop through A { if (!B.ContainsKey(key)) { print it or create new array of those that are not in B } {

But I need the time complexity to be O(N)

If I iterate through A in B it will be O(N²) time complexity, and there are 1000000 items in each dictionary it will be much time
