How can I compare the n-1 elements of two Sets ?

The algorithm I want is one which take two SortedSet in argument, if their size is equal and if their n-1 element are identical, then we merge them. https://code.sololearn.com/cTjYUZgWci6w/?ref=app

In the same code before returning the merged set you can store it inside another SortedSet and check if the size returned is equal to (set1.size()+set2.size() -1). If that is equal then you can return the merged set otherwise return null. Edit: Adrien Linares You must store that equation value before merging.

This code should work exactly for the conditions you have provided. I have done it for strings but the approach would be the same for all types. https://code.sololearn.com/ccmH2o9LXMQB/?ref=app
