Title: string function
Post by: cameyo on June 13, 2022, 10:43:11 PM
Why this?
Code Select
(setq a 10)
(setq b 20)
(string "'"a" '"b"")
-> "'10 '20"

Hello,



Whats the question: The integer in the both symbols are converted to string and all together is concatinated.

This is normal:
Code Select
(string a b)
-> "1020"
(string "a""b")
-> "ab"
This is strange, but you just need to know:
Code Select
(string ""a""b"")
-> "1020"

I'm confused about why you appear confuse... of course (string ""a""b"") is the same as (string ""   a   ""  b  ""); the string function packs together the stringifying of its arguments ignoring any (optional) whitespace between them. No strangeness involved afaict.
