--description--

In this exercise we are going to perform an intersection on 2 sets of data. We will create a method on our Set data structure called intersection. An intersection of sets represents all values that are common to two or more sets. This method should take another Set as an argument and return the intersection of the two sets.

For example, if setA = ['a','b','c'] and setB = ['a','b','d','e'], then the intersection of setA and setB is: setA.intersection(setB) = ['a', 'b'].

--hints--

Your Set class should have a intersection method.

assert(
  (function () {
    var test = new Set();
    return typeof test.intersection === 'function';
  })()
);

The proper collection should be returned.

assert(
  (function () {
    var setA = new Set();
    var setB = new Set();
    setA.add('a');
    setA.add('b');
    setA.add('c');
    setB.add('c');
    setB.add('d');
    var intersectionSetAB = setA.intersection(setB);
    return (
      intersectionSetAB.size() === 1 && intersectionSetAB.values()[0] === 'c'
    );
  })()
);
