```

    printf("\nEnter the value of n2: ");

```
    scanf("%f", &x.n2);
```
```
    printf("Value of n2 = %f\n", x.n2);
```
```
}
```

Program Explanation

1. Define the union named number with two variables n1 and n2.
2. Define the union variable x.
3. Take the value of two variables using dot operator(i.e. x.n1, x.n2) as input.
4. Print the values of two variables using dot operator as output.

Runtime Test Cases

 
Enter the value of n1: 10
Value of n1 = 10
Enter the value of n2: 50
Value of n2 = 50.000000
