Hello, there are two lists

Ans = ['red', 'blue', 'green', 'white']
  Word = ['red', 'white']

You need to compare the two lists and output the matching elements into a separate list, say, result. There has already been such a question, but I just can’t figure out how to display the same elements.

Still, Python is dynamic and expressive. This cannot be taken away from him.

There are some boolean and arithmetic operators overloaded for sets .

Here is your one-liner:

result = list (set (Ans) & amp; set (Word))

This will give the intersection of both lists:

['red', 'white']

If you want a list of unique elements in the union of two lists:

['red', 'white', 'green', 'blue']
result = list (set (Ans + Word))

Symmetric difference:

['green', 'blue']
result = list (set (Ans) ^ set (Word))

Plain difference (Set from Ans not included in Word ):

['green', 'blue']
result = list (set (Ans) - set (Word))

Option preserving order with fewer type conversions:

sbuf = set (Word)
result = [x for x in Ans if x in sbuf)]

Maybe via a list generator:

Res = [x for x in Ans if x in Word]
