searching elements in one array in another array

I have a situation as below

C#

string[] A = {'a','x','ab','z','c','d'}
string[] B = {'a','ab','c','xz','d'}

I need to write search method for searching elements in A in B. It should search every element in A with elements in B, and also with combination of elements in A.
Eg : 'a' present in B
'xz' present in B

What searching process i can use for this to finish in minimum iterations. Please suggest.

Thanks

I have tried with for loops, taking each element in A, concatenating with all other elements in A and searching in B. but its taking more iterations. Is there any better approach.

Firstly, decide what language you want to use: you have tagged this with every language you could find, and the solutions will be different for each. Since your code sample is C#, just tag it with that.

Second, we do not do your homework: it is set for a reason. It is there so that you think about what you have been told, and try to understand it. It is also there so that your tutor can identify areas where you are weak, and focus more attention on remedial action.

Try it yourself, you may find it is not as difficult as you think!

If you meet a specific problem, then please ask about that and we will do our best to help. But we aren't going to do it all for you!

I create an simple example for search one array in another--

using System;
using System.Linq;

namespace ArrayComparison
{
class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{

string[] A = { "a", "x", "ab", "z", "c", "d" };
string[] B = { "a", "ab", "c", "xz", "d" };

foreach (var x in A)
{
if(B.Contains(x))
{
Console.WriteLine(x);
}
}
Console.ReadLine();

}
}
}

But you mentioned that "

Quote:
also with combination of elements in A.

"
So could you please explain this in more detail so I could create accordingly.
