With all due respect, you should really read the Emacs Lisp Intro, it answers
this and all (or at least most) other questions you've posted.

In Emacs, press `C-h i m Emacs Lisp Intro RET` and start reading. Or, if you
prefer online:

https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/eintr/index.html

Once you've mastered the introduction, you'll find more info in the Elisp
manual:

C-h i m Elisp RET

or
