Elixir Types - Playing With Fire

http://blog.distortedthinking.agency/elixir-types

Exploring the web one Elixir at a time. Posted on November 08, 2014. Elixir has many of the types that you would expect from a modern programming language. The following list details these:. What may or may not surprise you is that strings are absent from this list. That is because strings are lists, they are either lists of chars (character codes), denoted by single quotes or lists of binaries as denoted by double quotes. Strings and string operations will be covered in a different post. This contains s...

Elixir Variables - Playing With Fire

http://blog.distortedthinking.agency/elixir-variables

Exploring the web one Elixir at a time. Posted on November 07, 2014. Following on from my previous post: What is this Elixir anyway? You should already have Elixir and Iex installed. In your iex, do the following:. Iex(1) my var = ‘thing’. There you are, your first Elixir variable. Exciting, isn’t it? At this point, you are fully entitled to ask: ‘Is that it? In Elixir is not an assignment operator, in fact assignment doesn’t actually exist. In Elixir, like in Erlang, this is a pattern-match operator.

The Capture Operator - Playing With Fire

http://blog.distortedthinking.agency/the-capture-operator

Exploring the web one Elixir at a time. Posted on February 13, 2015. The capture operator works a little bit like capture groups in regular expressions, but for function arguments. Use of this allows for shortcutting and making more readable short anonymous functions. Helper and anonymous functions. We have used this form in some examples before as demostrated in Functions, Functions and more Functions. But here is a quick recap. Should the capture operator be used to create an anonymous function that it...

What is this Elixir anyway? - Playing With Fire

http://blog.distortedthinking.agency/what-is-this-elixir-anyway

Exploring the web one Elixir at a time. What is this Elixir anyway? Posted on November 07, 2014. I thought that I should spend some time looking at the basics of Elixir. I will try very hard not to rehash the material that is already out there, but some crossovers might happen. If you are looking for a more indepth/professional job, I would suggest that you read both Programming Elixir. And check out Getting Started with Elixir. Anyway, here goes. Additionally, Elixir runs on the Erlang VM. Sudo ln -s el...

Functions, Functions and more Functions - Playing With Fire

http://blog.distortedthinking.agency/functions-functions-and-more-functions

Exploring the web one Elixir at a time. Functions, Functions and more Functions. Posted on November 15, 2014. Elixir is a functional programming language, and as such you should expect that it has functions. In fact, like many functional and imperative languages it has two sorts: anonymous and named. Func(a, b) # func/2 func(a, b, c) # func/3 func(a, b, c, d) # func/4. Anyway back to the billed discussion. In Elixir the syntax for anonymous functions is as follows:. As you can see to call an anonymous fu...

eWebmachine 2 - Hello World - Playing With Fire

http://blog.distortedthinking.agency/ewebmachine-2-hello-world

Exploring the web one Elixir at a time. EWebmachine 2 - Hello World. Posted on March 13, 2015. Ewebmachine 2 has now been out a little while. This version is a complete rewrite of the project that breaks backward compatibility. Ewebmachine 1 was a wrapper around basho webmachine, whereas Ewebmachine is now a full re-implementation using a new DSL. Because it is different, I thought that I would create a simple HelloWorld just to explore the changes. Mix new helloworld $ cd helloworld. Create the followin...

Strings in Elixir - Playing With Fire

http://blog.distortedthinking.agency/strings-in-elixir

Exploring the web one Elixir at a time. Posted on February 06, 2015. As is common in programming, Elixir has two string formats: single-quoted and double-quoted. These two representations have many things in common:. They can contain escape sequences. They allow string interpolation. They have a heredoc representation. Will represent a char list as a series of letters if the character code used falls within the range of printable characters. In Elixir this is represented with the following syntax : #{[va...
