A union in C or C++ is like a structure, except that each element in the structure starts at the same memory address. It is useful for storing more than one type of data, but only one at a time, in the same memory location.
It can also be used for the potentially unsafe technique of looking at the bit patterns of one data type using another data type. (It is unsafe because internal memory organization of bits and bytes is an implementation specific thing, and depending on one particular organization can lead to incorrect program behavior.)
