Create a list from a string in Clojure

if you know the input will be letters, just use

user=> (seq "abc")
(\a \b \c)

for numbers, try this

user=> (map #(Character/getNumericValue %) "123")
(1 2 3)

You can just use seq function to do this:

user=> (seq "aaa")
(\a \a \a)

for numbers you can use "dumb" solution, something like:

user=> (map (fn [^Character c] (Character/digit c 10)) (str 12345))
(1 2 3 4 5)

P.S. strings in clojure are 'seq'able, so you can use them as source for any sequence processing functions - map, for, ...
