Explore how to create a generalized map function in Elixir by applying recursion to lists. Learn to pass functions as arguments, handle empty lists safely, and return transformed lists by recursively processing each element.

We'll cover the following...

  • It returns a new list whose head is the result of either squaring or incrementing the head of its argument.
