Become an Elixir Programmer

Elixir syntax lets us focus on what’s important while learning functional programming. Starting from scratch, we'll learn the fundamentals of Elixir including expressions, modules, conditional statements, and recursion. Towards the end of the module, we'll focus on more advanced material like higher-order functions, how to handle impure functions, and how to design an application using Elixir and functional programming principles.

By the end, we'll be able to write Elixir programs that follow the functional programming paradigm.

Learn Functional Programming with Elixir

They are data entities that can be used to express the application domain.

The `define struct` directive is used to create a struct.

They should be under your application domain namespace.

Which statement about structs is **incorrect**?

Which statement about structs is incorrect?

They are created using polymorphic functions.

They create a single interface that various data types can implement.

They allow you to implement polymorphism.

The `defprotocol` directive is used to define a protocol.

Which statement about Elixir's protocols is **incorrect**?

Which statement about Elixir’s protocols is incorrect?

They are contracts between modules and the client code. 

They provide separate interfaces for a client across multiple modules.

They allow clients to use multiple modules in the same way.

They allow us to have a central point of execution and handling for functions that respect the same behavior.
