variables in lisp programming

I am trying to write a function lets say A(n)

which is supposed to have a list

(the answer is n)

n being any integer in the list I want when i type (A 4)

it should display (the answer is 4)

I am not sure how to go about it thinking of using setq and the list function

But how to construct it its confusing me I'm just a newbie trying to learn lisp, any ideas or books I can read I will greatly appreciate.

Another part of your question is what books to read. Usually people recommend to read the "Practical Common Lisp", a book with a friendly and easy-to-read introduction to the Common Lisp. Then there is the "Getting Started" article on Cliki.net. This should be sufficient to get started with the language.
