I can't remember the term. Can anyone tell me? It's when you take 2 sets of data and only keep data that's in both sets. also, does Java have a function that performs this action?

That's called an "intersection". The Java function, in the Set interface, is retainAll().
Union is addAll(). Set subtraction is removeAll().
