# Title: Union
# Project: geekviewpoint
# Package: algorithms
#
# Statement:
# Given two sets of bits, x and y, find their union.
#
# Sample Input: 0110101; 0101100
# Sample Output: 0111101
#
# Technical Details:
# The union of two sets is the superset comprising all the elements
# that appear in both sets. For example if s1 = [a,b,f,h,k] and
# s2 = [b,c,d,f,h,position] then the union of s1 and s2 is
# s1 U s2 = [a,b,c,d,f,h,position,k]. For two sets of bits the union
# is simply the bitwise OR of the two sets. For example if x = 0110101
# and y=0101100 then the union of x and y is x U y = 0111101.
