println("Common keys:", intersect(keys(a), keys(b)))
println("Keys in a not in b:", setdiff(keys(a), keys(b)))
println("(key,value) pairs in common:", intersect(collect(a), collect(b)))

Output:
Common keys:Set(["x", "y"])
Keys in a not in b:Set(["z"])
(key,value) pairs in common:["y" => 2]

Output:

Output:
