of the two input arrays. Parameters ---------- ar1, ar2 : array_like Input arrays. They are flattened if they are not already 1D. Returns ------- union1d : ndarray Unique, sorted union of the input arrays. Examples -------- >>> import numpy as np >>> np.union1d([-1, 0, 1], [-2, 0, 2]) array([-2, -1, 0, 1, 2]) To find the union of more than two arrays, use functools.reduce: >>> from functools import reduce >>> reduce(np.union1d, ([1, 3, 4, 3], [3, 1, 2, 1], [6, 3, 4, 2])) array([1, 2, 3, 4, 6]) Nr¯
