How to put a string into a list

I want to put the value of an empty string "" into an empty list.

I currently have the idea of (cons "" '()). Is there any other (or better) way to do this?

Or indeed just '(""). list is the more general list constructor, since it will evaluate its arguments, but for creating a list of constants, you can use quote (recall that 'x is shorthand for (quote x)).

You should also consider creating a vector instead, with [""]. Vectors are often a better place to store data than lists, in Clojure.

Use list:

> (list "")
("")
