C++ Tutorial for Beginners: Unions

[@FluxSentor]

Your lessons have seriously helped compliment my class's regular lecture. It's nice to always hear a topic explained a second time, and the clear examples help. Thanks for all the time you put in making these videos!

[@ProfessorHankStalica]

I agree with that. Complimentary explanations are a great thing. 👍

Man I love this video. How you get a random number on the first byte when you change the memory allocation to a 4 byte integer is just so cool. :)

Excellent presentation with really meaningful examples! Here I learn and understand everything much better and above all: I can remember it very well! Many, many thanks!

[@ProfessorHankStalica]

You're very welcome!

That lecture was just amazing , it would be much more better if you showed us an example of why on earth we will use unions , a simple example for demonstration and thank you a lot 😊

[@ProfessorHankStalica]

That's covered in Appendix L of our text. 🍻

Hey, Umar. I have videos already that cover most of those topics. Here's a link to the AI play list: kzbin.info/aero/PLaatXkJEXKyJjYYOrWrmVPNbWvs_sRgmm

Union isn't an allowed way to alias any data as any data. The correct usage would be memcpy() or bit_cast().

[@ProfessorHankStalica]

Ya, it has pretty much fallen by the wayside but it's in our text so I have to cover it and the other functions aren't. Still see it in C systems programming in legacy code from time to time though.

[@OlliS71]

@@ProfessorHankStalica All compilers support that, but with C++ that's not the official way according to the standard.

Never use "Double D" in a youtube video. It's just not right. :)))
