Function Calls and Pattern Matching
Learn how Elixir uses pattern matching in named functions by exploring multiple function clauses. Understand the process through recursive examples like factorial calculation, gaining practical insight into function calls and parameter matching.

In the previous chapter, we looked at how anonymous functions use pattern matching. The same is true of named functions. The difference is that we write the function multiple times, each time with its own parameter list and body. Although this looks like multiple function definitions, it’s actually multiple clauses of ...
