The provided code performs the following steps: 1. `a = [1,...

The provided code performs the following steps:

1. a = [1, 2, 3]

   • Creates a list a containing the elements [1, 2, 3].

2. b = [2, 3, 4]

   • Creates a list b containing the elements [2, 3, 4].

3. c = set(a) & set(b)

   • Converts both lists a and b into sets using the set() function.
   • Computes the intersection (&) of the two sets, which results in a set containing only the elements present in both a and b.

Final result:

• The common elements between a and b are 2 and 3.
• c will be a set containing {2, 3}.

In summary:

This code finds the common elements between two lists a and b and stores them in the variable c as a set.
