Common elements of Two list- Python Code
You are required to take two lists, say for example these two:
a = [1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55, 89]
b = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13]
and write a program that returns a list that contains only the elements that are common between the lists (without duplicates). Make sure your program works on two lists of different sizes.
Extras:
- Randomly generate two lists to test this
- Write this in one line of Python (don’t worry if you can’t figure this out at this point – we’ll get to it soon)
Here is the solution to this simple problem
# program to find out common elements in these two list # program by : rakesh kumar a = [1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55, 89] b = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13] common=[] a = set(a) b = set(b) for x in a: if x in b: common.append(x) print(common)
The output of the above program is like
as@DESKTOP-P84OH09 MINGW64 ~/desktop $ c:/python37/python.exe c:/Users/as/Desktop/common_element.py [1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13]
