This Python code calculates and assigns the intersection of the two lists a
and b
to the variable c
, but has a typo in the comment.
Line-by-line explanation:
-
a = [1,2,3]
:
Creates a lista
containing the integers[1, 2, 3]
. -
b = [2,3,4]
:
Creates a listb
containing the integers[2, 3, 4]
. -
c = set(a) & set(b)
:
Converts both listsa
andb
into sets usingset(a)
andset(b)
. Then, the&
operator computes the intersection of these two sets, meaning all elements that are common to both sets. The result is a set containing the shared elements. For the given lists, the shared elements are2
and3
, soc
will beset([2, 3])
.
Note: The comment "C code to calculate sum of two numbers" is unrelated to the Python code and appears to have been mistakenly included.
Final Output:
c
containsset([2, 3])
, the common elements betweena
andb
.
