You might be familiar with them in the C language, and C++ is backward compatible with unions in C. That said, you can also have member functions if you can find a compelling reason to do so in C++. Unions are a great way to more compactly store data, and we'll look at an example in SDL (SDL_Event) where they are useful. Finally, we'll look a the actual assembly in this lesson, to prove unions really are just a compact set of bytes. ►YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/c/MikeShah ►Please like and subscribe to help the channel!
