a = [1,2,3] b = [2,3,4]C code to calculate sum of two numbers c = set(a) & set(b)

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:

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

  2. b = [2,3,4]:
    Creates a list b containing the integers [2, 3, 4].

  3. c = set(a) & set(b):
    Converts both lists a and b into sets using set(a) and set(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 are 2 and 3, so c will be set([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 contains set([2, 3]), the common elements between a and b.
