How can I get values from an array to populate a list.  And vice versa, take a list to
make an array.

(seq--into-list "Sail Ho!") ; (83 97 105 108 32 72 111 33)

(seq--into-list [1 3 3 7]) ; (1 3 3 7)

(string-join (list "A" "B" "C")) ; "ABC"

Vector from list ... don't know?

Is the array a vector or string?  Then:

(append '[1 2 3] nil)

or

(mapcar 'char-to-string "123")

To make a vector:

(vconcat '(1 2 3))

To make a string, it depends on the type of the list elements:

(mapconcat 'number-to-string '(1 2 3))
(mapconcat 'symbol-name '(a b c))

The array is made up of numbers.  [3 2 2 1 0]

Thus, a vector looks like an ordinary list?
