This code performs the following operations: 1. **`a = [1, 2,...

This code performs the following operations:

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

2. b = [2, 3, 4]: Creates another list b containing the elements [2, 3, 4].

3. c = set(a) & set(b): Converts both lists a and b into sets, and then uses the & operator, which performs a set intersection operation. This finds the elements that are common to both sets a and b.

   • set(a) converts the list [1, 2, 3] into the set {1, 2, 3}.
   • set(b) converts the list [2, 3, 4] into the set {2, 3, 4}.
   • set(a) & set(b) computes the intersection of {1, 2, 3} and {2, 3, 4}, which results in {2, 3} (the elements that are present in both sets).

4. Output: The result, c, is a set {2, 3}, which contains the common elements of both a and b.
