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 C and set B is {1, 2}
