Lisp - Make a list with variable value

Question

I save the variable value (setf num (+ 4 5)) like this and I save the (setf str '("Hello")).

And then I want make a list like this (setq v '(num str)). However because of the single quote, it doesn't recognize it as a string and not working as expected.

how can i make a list with variable value?

Answer 1

The special operator quote prevents evaluation of your variables.

You need to call a function (which evaluates its arguments), e.g., list:

(list num str)
==> (9 "Hello")
