finding similar objects in a list

[DRPR]

I am new to python and programming in general.I wanted to write a code which prints the similar elements from 2 lists .For example if a=[1,2,3,4,5] and b=[0,2,4,6] , I would want a c=[2,4]. Here is what I did:

def simi(a,b):
    a,b,c=[],[],[]
    for i in a:
        for j in b:
            if i==j:
                c.append(i)
            else:
                continue
    return (c)
