Question

how to create a list in LISP and accepting elements of list from user?

Answer 1

Use the read function to read user input. For example:

[6]> (list (read) (read))
joe
moe
(JOE MOE)

joe and moe are my input lines, terminated by a newline (pressing Enter). The list function creates a new list.
