The provided code snippet demonstrates the intersection of two lists using Python sets. Here's what the code does:
a = [1, 2, 3] # Creates a list `a` with the elements 1, 2, and 3.
b = [2, 3, 4] # Creates a list `b` with the elements 2, 3, and 4.
c = set(a) & set(b) # Converts both lists `a` and `b` into sets and finds their intersection using the `&` operator.
Explanation:
set(a)
creates a set from lista
, resulting in{1, 2, 3}
.set(b)
creates a set from listb
, resulting in{2, 3, 4}
.- The
&
operator computes the intersection of the two sets (common elements). The intersection of{1, 2, 3}
and{2, 3, 4}
is{2, 3}
.
Final result:
c
will be a set containing the elements {2, 3}
, which are the common elements between lists a
and b
.
