The provided Python code does the following:
-
Creates lists
a
andb
:a = [1, 2, 3]
: A list containing integers1
,2
, and3
.b = [2, 3, 4]
: A list containing integers2
,3
, and4
.
-
Converts the lists to sets and finds the intersection:
set(a)
: Converts the lista
to a set,{1, 2, 3}
.set(b)
: Converts the listb
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}
.
-
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
.
