{{< note >}}
This command's behavior varies in clustered Redis environments. See the [multi-key operations]({{< relref "/develop/using-commands/multi-key-operations" >}}) page for more information.
{{< /note >}}


This command is similar to [`ZINTERSTORE`]({{< relref "/commands/zinterstore" >}}), but instead of storing the resulting
sorted set, it is returned to the client.

For a description of the `WEIGHTS` and `AGGREGATE` options, see [`ZUNIONSTORE`]({{< relref "/commands/zunionstore" >}}).

## Examples

{{% redis-cli %}}
ZADD zset1 1 "one"
ZADD zset1 2 "two"
ZADD zset2 1 "one"
ZADD zset2 2 "two"
ZADD zset2 3 "three"
ZINTER 2 zset1 zset2
ZINTER 2 zset1 zset2 WITHSCORES
{{% /redis-cli %}}
