In the first solution, each item that occurs in both lists occurs in the returned list the same number of times it appears in the first list.

The second solution returns a list where each item that appears in both lists appears only once in the returned list.

In the third solution, each item appears in the returned list the lesser of the number of times it appears in the two lists.
