Elixir Scope
Explore how Elixir uses lexical scoping within functions and modules to control variable visibility. Understand the distinctions between top-level and function clause scopes, and learn how constructs like modules, functions, comprehensions, and try blocks define new scopes. Gain insight into Elixir's approach to grouping expressions with do blocks to organize code effectively.

In addition, modules define a scope for local variables, but these are accessible only at the top level of that module and not in functions defined in the ...
