Definition df-case 7143

Description: The "case" construction: if F : A --> X and G : B --> X are functions, then case ( F , G ) : ( A ⊔ B ) --> X is the natural function obtained by a definition by cases, hence the name. It is the unique function whose existence is asserted by the universal property of disjoint unions updjud 7141. The definition is adapted to make sense also for binary relations (where the universal property also holds). (Contributed by MC and BJ, 10-Jul-2022.)
