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

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.
