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

This code performs the following operations:

1. a = [1, 2, 3]: A list a is created containing the integers 1, 2, and 3.

2. b = [2, 3, 4]: A list b is created containing the integers 2, 3, and 4.

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

   • set(a) converts the list a into a set, which removes duplicates (if any) and allows for set operations. So, set(a) becomes {1, 2, 3}.
   • set(b) converts the list b into a set, so set(b) becomes {2, 3, 4}.
   • The & operator finds the intersection of the two sets, which means it identifies the elements common to both sets. The intersection of {1, 2, 3} and {2, 3, 4} is {2, 3}.

Thus, the variable c will contain {2, 3} as a set.
