Definition df-uni 4872

Description: Define the union of a class i.e. the collection of all members of the members of the class. Definition 5.5 of [TakeutiZaring] p. 16. For example, ∪ {{1, 3}, {1, 8}} = {1, 3, 8} (ex-uni 30355). This is similar to the union of two classes df-un 3919. (Contributed by NM, 23-Aug-1993.)
