Get introduced to the concept of metaprogramming. Learn how to level up your programming skills by discovering the full potential of the macro system in Elixir. Understand the ins and outs of metaprogramming at a fundamental level and write incredible libraries by doing more with less code.

Metaprogramming in Elixir

Before we can implement the `test` macro, we need to address a missing piece of our implementation. A user can define multiple test cases, but we have can't track each test-case definition for inclusion within `MathTest.run/0`. Fortunately, Elixir solves this use case via module attributes.

Learn about module attributes and how they help in keeping track of test cases.
