The provided code performs the following steps:

1. Create Lists a and b:

   a = [1, 2, 3]
   b = [2, 3, 4]
   

   • a is a list containing the integers [1, 2, 3].
   • b is a list containing the integers [2, 3, 4].

2. Convert Lists to Sets:

   set(a)
   set(b)
   

   • Converts the lists a and b into sets.
   • set(a) becomes {1, 2, 3} and set(b) becomes {2, 3, 4}.
   • Sets automatically eliminate duplicates (though there are no duplicates in this case).

3. Perform Intersection of Sets:

   set(a) & set(b)
   

   • The & operator computes the intersection of the two sets (set(a) and set(b)).
   • The intersection contains only elements that are present in both sets.
   • In this case, the intersection of {1, 2, 3} and {2, 3, 4} results in {2, 3}.

4. Result Assignment:

   c = set(a) & set(b)
   

   • The result of the intersection {2, 3} is assigned to the variable c.

Final Outcome:

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