Union Union[expr1, expr2, ...] returns a sorted union of the items in the expressions. Attributes[Union] := {Protected} Simple examples In[1]:= Union[{b, a, a, b, a}] Out[1]= {a, b} In[2]:= Union[{b, a, a, b, a}, {y, z}] Out[2]= {a, b, y, z} In[3]:= Union[foo[b, a, a, b, a], foo[y, z]] Out[3]= foo[a, b, y, z]
