Python: Common tuples between two given lists

Python List: Exercise - 207 with Solution

Write a Python program to find the common tuples between two given lists.

Sample Solution:

Python Code:

def test(list1, list2):
    result =  set(list1).intersection(list2)
    return list(result)
list1 =  [('red', 'green'), ('black', 'white'), ('orange', 'pink')] 
list2 =  [('red', 'green'), ('orange', 'pink')] 
print("\nOriginal lists:")
print(list1)
print(list2)
print("\nCommon tuples between two said lists")
print(test(list1,list2)) 
list1 =  [('red', 'green'), ('orange', 'pink')] 
list2 =  [('red', 'green'), ('black', 'white'), ('orange', 'pink')] 
print("\nOriginal lists:")
print(list1)
print(list2)
print("\nCommon tuples between two said lists")
print(test(list1,list2))

Sample Output:

Original lists:
[('red', 'green'), ('black', 'white'), ('orange', 'pink')]
[('red', 'green'), ('orange', 'pink')]

Common tuples between two said lists
[('orange', 'pink'), ('red', 'green')]

Original lists:
[('red', 'green'), ('orange', 'pink')]
[('red', 'green'), ('black', 'white'), ('orange', 'pink')]

Common tuples between two said lists
[('orange', 'pink'), ('red', 'green')]
