--description--

In this exercise we are going to perform a union on two sets of data. We will create a method on our Set data structure called union. This method should take another Set as an argument and return the union of the two sets, excluding any duplicate values.

For example, if setA = ['a','b','c'] and setB = ['a','b','d','e'], then the union of setA and setB is: setA.union(setB) = ['a', 'b', 'c', 'd', 'e'].

--hints--

Your Set class should have a union method.

assert(
  (function () {
    var test = new Set();
    return typeof test.union === 'function';
  })()
);

The union of a Set containing values ["a", "b", "c"] and a Set containing values ["c", "d"] should return a new Set containing values ["a", "b", "c", "d"].

assert(
  (function () {
    var setA = new Set();
    var setB = new Set();
    setA.add('a');
    setA.add('b');
    setA.add('c');
    setB.add('c');
    setB.add('d');
    var unionSetAB = setA.union(setB);
    var final = unionSetAB.values();
    return (
      final.indexOf('a') !== -1 &&
      final.indexOf('b') !== -1 &&
      final.indexOf('c') !== -1 &&
      final.indexOf('d') !== -1 &&
      final.length === 4
    );
  })()
);
