All language subtitles for 1. Unions - General Introduction

All right, welcome to our amazing programming course.

In this video, we are going to talk about something new that we probably haven't spoken of so far.

And this topic is called Unions'.

OK, not only guns, but unions.

We are going to talk about what are unions, how they should be used, how to create unions, how to

access its members, and basically a lot of things that cover this topic to the fullest.

And the reason as to why I'm talking about unions just now is because they are usually being taught

together or at least one after the other with the structures topic.

That's because they are quite similar.

But still, of course, there are differences which will be discussed in this section.

So there is a couple of useful situations where unions can and should be used, especially for those

of you guys who are planning to proceed even further with your career and to work in the embedded industry.

OK, so simply saying it may come really handy when you are going to work with memory mapped registers

to communicate with different peripherals.

But more on that.

Not at the moment.

Not right now.

For now, we'll just focus on understanding the basics and the usage of unions.

Awesome.

So basically saying, what is a union, OK, so that's the first question, what is a union?

What is the union?

First of all, a union is a user defined data type of game.

So first of all, that's some user defined.

OK, let's do it like this.

First of all, that's a user defined data type.

OK, and we already know basically what it means are similar to how we defined the structures.

Second, what we can also say about unions is that it's basically it's basically a collection of elements

of variables that may be also of different types.

And they are kind of being held in the same region in the memory.

OK, so the second phrase will be like a SADE'S or basically a collection of elements or variables or

variables.

Right.

Variables that are kind of being held kind kind of being held in the same region in the memory.

OK, and that's very important.

We will talk about it in more depth because the second the second answer to what is a union is very,

very important.

And it will be like it will be with us for most of these video and for most of the discussion about

unions.

OK, so don't worry about that.

We will cover also this part and we'll also talk about what is how to use unions, how to create them.

And also we will talk about the differences between unions and structures as well as their similarities.

And before we proceed, basically, if you will, take a look at this answer, what is the union?

Of course.

There are also other explanations that can be used for unions, but I think that's enough for the start.

Okay, that's enough to get ourselves started.

And yeah, that's basically all about it for the general introduction for unions straight and for and

straightforward, simple and straightforward.

And now let us proceed.
