The intersection() method returns a new set which consists of the common elements in both sets.
Example
#!/usr/bin/python3
# -*- coding: UTF-8 -*-
A = {1, 2, 3, 4}
B = {1, 2 ,4,5,6,7,9}
C = {1, 2,11,3}
print("The intersection between set A and set B is",A.intersection(B))
print("The intersection between set A and set C is",A.intersection(C))
print("The intersection between set C and set B is",B.intersection(C))
Output:
The intersection between set A and set B is {1, 2, 4}
The intersection between set A and set C is {1, 2, 3}
The intersection between set C and set B is {1, 2}
Syntax
x.intersection(a, b,... etc)
Parameters
The parameter is the set to search for equal items in. Optional parameters are other sets to search for equal items in.
