# `setunion` Function
The `setunion` function takes multiple sets and produces a single set
containing the elements from all of the given sets. In other words, it
computes the [union](<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Union_(set_theory)>) of
the sets.
```hcl
setunion(sets...)
```
## Examples
```shell-session
> setunion(["a", "b"], ["b", "c"], ["d"])
[
"d",
"b",
"c",
"a",
]
```
The given arguments are converted to sets, so the result is also a set and
the ordering of the given elements is not preserved.
