Prolog concatenate atoms

Question

I want to write prolog that can do what this is doing:

atomic_list_concat([X,'(', Y,')'],Z).

where, in my code X is an atom localization, Y is what user answer after a read, so it's what he input (for example blabla).

The Z would be: localization(blabla)

The result of atomic_list_concat is 'localization(blabla)' .

I would like the answer to have no quotation marks in it.

Please, help me

Answer 1

To create a compound term, you shoud use

Z =.. [X, Y]

instead of

atomic_list_concat([X, '(', Y, ')'], Z)

For example:

?- X = localization, Y= blabla, Z =.. [X, Y].
X = localization, 
Y = blabla, 
Z = localization(blabla).
