The given code performs the following steps: 1. **`a = [1,...

The given code performs the following steps:

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

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

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

   • Converts the lists a and b into sets using set(a) and set(b).
   • Calculates the intersection of the two sets using the & operator. The result is a set containing only the elements that are common to both sets.

For the given input, the intersection operation (&) will result in the set {2, 3} because those are the elements present in both a and b.

At the end of the code:

• c will be {2, 3}.

In summary:

This code finds the common elements (intersection) between the two lists a and b by converting them to sets and then calculates the intersection.
