Example #1 Ds\Map::union example

<?php
$a = new \Ds\Map(["a" => 1, "b" => 2, "c" => 3]);
$b = new \Ds\Map(["b" => 3, "c" => 4, "d" => 5]);

print_r($a->union($b));
?>

The above example will output something similar to:

Ds\Map Object
(
    [0] => Ds\Pair Object
        (
            [key] => a
            [value] => 1
        )

    [1] => Ds\Pair Object
        (
            [key] => b
            [value] => 3
        )

    [2] => Ds\Pair Object
        (
            [key] => c
            [value] => 4
        )

    [3] => Ds\Pair Object
        (
            [key] => d
            [value] => 5
        )

)
