Definition df-uni

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, U. { { 1 , 3 } , { 1 , 8 } } = { 1 , 3 , 8 } ( ex-uni ). This is similar to the union of two classes df-un . (Contributed by NM, 23-Aug-1993)
