Union type

In computer science, a union is a value that may have any of several representations or formats within the same position in memory; that consists of a variable that may hold such a data structure. Some programming languages support special data types, called union types, to describe such values and variables. In other words, a union type definition will specify which of a number of permitted primitive types may be stored in its instances, e.g., "float or long integer". In contrast with a record (or structure), which could be defined to contain both a float and an integer; in a union, there is only one value at any given time. A union can be pictured as a chunk of memory that is used to store variables of different data types. Once a new value is assigned to a field, the existing data is overwritten with the new data. The memory area storing the value has no intrinsic type (other than just bytes or words of memory), but the value can be treated as one of several abstract data types, having the type of the value that was last written to the memory area. In type theory, a union has a sum type; this corresponds to disjoint union in mathematics. Depending on the language and type, a union value may be used in some operations, such as assignment and comparison for equality, without knowing its specific type. Other operations may require that knowledge, either by some external information, or by the use of a tagged union. (Wikipedia).

What is a Union? (Set Theory)

What is A union B? How do you find the union of sets? What is an operation of sets? In this video we answer these questions, we will talk about the simple set operation: the union, what it is, and how to union two sets. I hope you find this video helpful, and be sure to ask any questions d

Types of Binary Star Systems

Our solar system has just one star in it, the sun. But this is actually not the most common situation for systems. Most systems are multi-star systems, with binary systems being extremely common. These are systems where two stars orbit around their center of mass, and some of them even hav

Set Theory: Types of Sets, Unions and Intersections

We've already learned a little bit about set theory when we first started using interval notation. Let's expand on this a little bit to include sets that merely list some elements, so that we can understand how to find the union and intersection of two sets. This is good notation to know r
