Find Common Items in Lists

Write a Python program to find common items in two lists.

Sample Solution:

Python Code:

# Define a tuple 'color1' containing color names
color1 = "Red", "Green", "Orange", "White"

# Define another tuple 'color2' containing color names
color2 = "Black", "Green", "White", "Pink"

# Create sets from 'color1' and 'color2' to perform set intersection (common elements)
# Print the result, which contains the colors that are common to both sets
print(set(color1) & set(color2))

Sample Output:

{'Green', 'White'}
