a = [1,2,3] b = [2,3,4]Python string manipulation methods c = set(a) & set(b)

The provided Python code does the following:

  1. Creates lists a and b:

    • a = [1, 2, 3]: A list containing integers 1, 2, and 3.
    • b = [2, 3, 4]: A list containing integers 2, 3, and 4.
  2. Converts the lists to sets and finds the intersection:

    • set(a): Converts the list a to a set, {1, 2, 3}.
    • set(b): Converts the list b to a set, {2, 3, 4}.
    • set(a) & set(b): Computes the intersection of the two sets using the & operator, which finds the common elements between the two sets. The result is {2, 3}.
  3. Assigns the result to c:

    • c = set(a) & set(b): c will now store the set {2, 3}.

In summary:

The code creates two lists, converts them to sets, finds the common elements (intersection) between the two sets, and stores the result (a set containing the common elements) in c.
