Hi
what is the inverse function of
gives back
If I have a string how do I get a corresponding atom assuming the atom has no spaces.
A note (or link) in the documentation under the entry
A similar question: how do I test strings for equality?
Thank you for the answer in advance.

Hello HJH,
(symbol "hello") --> hello
(sym "hello") --> hello
(symbol "Hello") --> Hello
(sym "Hello") --> Hello
The symbols 'hello' and 'Hello' are distinct. The names 'sym' and 'symbol' are two ways of specifying the same function.
(= "hello" "hello") --> true
(= "hello" "Hello") --> nil
