intersection

intersect lists, ideals, or modules

Syntax 
intersection(A: LIST, B: LIST): LIST
intersection(A: IDEAL, B: LIST): LIST
intersection(A: LIST, B: IDEAL): LIST
intersection(A: IDEAL, B: IDEAL): IDEAL

Description
This function returns the intersection of A and B .

The coefficient ring must be a field.

NOTE: To compute the intersection of ideals corresponding to zero-dimensional schemes, see the commands GBM and HGBM .

Example 
/**/  Use R ::= QQ[x,y,z];
/**/  intersection(ideal(x,y,z), ideal(x*y));
ideal(x*y)

/**/  intersection(["a","b","c"], ["b","c","d"]);
["b", "c"]
