Difference between `set`, `setq`, and `setf` in Common Lisp?

Question

What is the difference between \"set\", \"setq\", and \"setf\" in Common Lisp?

Answer 1

(set ls '(1 2 3 4)) => Error - ls has no value

(set 'ls '(1 2 3 4)) => OK

(setq ls '(1 2 3 4)) => OK - make ls to (quote ls) and then have the usual set

(setf ls '(1 2 3 4)) => OK - same as setq so far BUT

(setf (car ls) 10) => Makes ls '(10 2 3 4) - not duplicated by setq/set
