How to assign a list of variables to an array efficiently

I have a list of variables:

a = 1;
b = 4;
c = 7;
d = 8;
e = 9;

And want to convert them into an array. It doesn't seem very efficient to use:

vars = [a; b; c; d; e];

Is there a more effective method?

Not really. That way is fine. Why do you say it's inefficient?
