# Use elixir_bootstrap module to be able to bootstrap Kernel.
# The bootstrap module provides simpler implementations of the
# functions removed, simple enough to bootstrap.
import Kernel,

import :elixir_bootstrap
defmodule Kernel do
@moduledoc """
`Kernel` is Elixir's default environment.
It mainly consists of:
* basic language primitives, such as arithmetic operators, spawning of processes,
data type handling, and others
* macros for control-flow and defining new functionality (modules, functions, and the like)
* guard checks for augmenting pattern matching
You can invoke `Kernel` functions and macros anywhere in Elixir code
without the use of the `Kernel.` prefix since they have all been
automatically imported. For example, in IEx, you can call:
iex> is_number(13)
true
If you don't want to import a function or macro from `Kernel`, use the `:except`
option and then list the function/macro by arity:
import Kernel, except: [if: 2, unless: 2]
See `Kernel.SpecialForms.import/2` for more information on importing.
Elixir also has special forms that are always imported and
cannot be skipped. These are described in `Kernel.SpecialForms`.
## The standard library
`Kernel` provides the basic capabilities the Elixir standard library
is built on top of. It is recommended to explore the standard library
for advanced functionality. Here are the main groups of modules in the
standard library (this list is not a complete reference, see the
documentation sidebar for all entries).
### Built-in types
The following modules handle Elixir built-in data types:
* `Atom` - literal constants with a name (`true`, `false`, and `nil` are atoms)
* `Float` - numbers with floating point precision
* `Function` - a reference to code chunk, created with the `fn/1` special form
* `Integer` - whole numbers (not fractions)
* `List` - collections of a variable number of elements (linked lists)
* `Map` - collections of key-value pairs
* `Process` - light-weight threads of execution
* `Port` - mechanisms to interact with the external world
* `Tuple` - collections of a fixed number of elements
There are two data types without an accompanying module:
* Bitstring - a sequence of bits, created with `Kernel.SpecialForms.<<>>/1`.
When the number of bits is divisible by 8, they are called binaries and can
be manipulated with Erlang's `:binary` module
* Reference - a unique value in the runtime system, created with `make_ref/0`
### Data types
Elixir also provides other data types that are built on top of the types
listed above. Some of them are:
* `Date` - `year-month-day` structs in a given calendar
* `DateTime` - date and time with time zone in a given calendar
* `Exception` - data raised from errors and unexpected scenarios
* `MapSet` - unordered collections of unique elements
* `NaiveDateTime` - date and time without time zone in a given calendar
* `Keyword` - lists of two-element tuples, often representing optional values
* `Range` - inclusive ranges between two integers
* `Regex` - regular expressions
* `String` - UTF-8 encoded binaries representing characters
* `Time` - `hour:minute:second` structs in a given calendar
* `URI` - representation of URIs that identify resources
* `Version` - representation of versions and requirements
### System modules
Modules that interface with the underlying system, such as:
* `IO` - handles input and output
* `File` - interacts with the underlying file system
* `Path` - manipulates file system paths
* `System` - reads and writes system information
### Protocols
Protocols add polymorphic dispatch to Elixir. They are contracts
implementable by data types. See `Protocol` for more information on
protocols. Elixir provides the following protocols in the standard library:
* `Collectable` - collects data into a data type
* `Enumerable` - handles collections in Elixir. The `Enum` module
provides eager functions for working with collections, the `Stream`
module provides lazy functions
* `Inspect` - converts data types into their programming language
representation
* `List.Chars` - converts data types to their outside world
representation as charlists (non-programming based)
* `String.Chars` - converts data types to their outside world
representation as strings (non-programming based)
### Process-based and application-centric functionality
The following modules build on top of processes to provide concurrency,
fault-tolerance, and more.
* `Agent` - a process that encapsulates mutable state
* `Application` - functions for starting, stopping and configuring
applications
* `GenServer` - a generic client-server API
* `Registry` - a key-value process-based storage
* `Supervisor` - a process that is responsible for starting,
supervising and shutting down other processes
* `Task` - a process that performs computations
* `Task.Supervisor` - a supervisor for managing tasks exclusively
### Supporting documents
Elixir documentation also includes supporting documents under the
"Pages" section. Those are:
* [Compatibility and deprecations](compatibility-and-deprecations.md) - lists
compatibility between every Elixir version and Erlang/OTP, release schema;
lists all deprecated functions, when they were deprecated and alternatives
* [Library guidelines](library-guidelines.md) - general guidelines, anti-patterns,
and rules for those writing libraries
* [Naming conventions](naming-conventions.md) - naming conventions for Elixir code
* [Operators](operators.md) - lists all Elixir operators and their precedences
* [Patterns and guards](patterns-and-guards.md) - an introduction to patterns,
guards, and extensions
* [Syntax reference](syntax-reference.md) - the language syntax reference
* [Typespecs](typespecs.md)- types and function specifications, including list of types
* [Unicode syntax](unicode-syntax.md) - outlines Elixir support for Unicode
* [Writing documentation](writing-documentation.md) - guidelines for writing
documentation in Elixir
## Guards
This module includes the built-in guards used by Elixir developers.
They are a predefined set of functions and macros that augment pattern
matching, typically invoked after the `when` operator. For example:
def drive(%User{age: age}) when age >= 16 do
...
end
The clause above will only be invoked if the user's age is more than
or equal to 16. Guards also support joining multiple conditions with
`and` and `or`. The whole guard is true if all guard expressions will
evaluate to `true`. A more complete introduction to guards is available
in the [Patterns and guards](patterns-and-guards.md) page.
## Structural comparison
The comparison functions in this module perform structural comparison.
This means structures are compared based on their representation and
not on their semantic value. This is specially important for functions
that are meant to provide ordering, such as `>/2`, `</2`, `>=/2`,
`<=/2`, `min/2`, and `max/2`. For example:
~D[2017-03-31] > ~D[2017-04-01]
will return `true` because structural comparison compares the `:day`
field before `:month` or `:year`. Therefore, when comparing structs,
you often use the `compare/2` function made available by the structs
modules themselves:
iex> Date.compare(~D[2017-03-31], ~D[2017-04-01])
:lt
Alternatively, you can use the functions in the `Enum` module to
sort or compute a maximum/minimum:
iex> Enum.sort([~D[2017-03-31], ~D[2017-04-01]], Date)
[~D[2017-03-31], ~D[2017-04-01]]
iex> Enum.max([~D[2017-03-31], ~D[2017-04-01]], Date)
~D[2017-04-01]
## Truthy and falsy values
Besides the booleans `true` and `false`, Elixir has the
concept of a "truthy" or "falsy" value.
* a value is truthy when it is neither `false` nor `nil`
* a value is falsy when it is either `false` or `nil`
Elixir has functions, like `and/2`, that *only* work with
booleans, but also functions that work with these
truthy/falsy values, like `&&/2` and `!/1`.
### Examples
We can check the truthiness of a value by using the `!/1`
function twice.
Truthy values:
iex> !!true
true
iex> !!5
true
iex> !![1,2]
true
iex> !!"foo"
true
Falsy values (of which there are exactly two):
iex> !!false
false
iex> !!nil
false
## Inlining
Some of the functions described in this module are inlined by
the Elixir compiler into their Erlang counterparts in the
[`:erlang`](`:erlang`) module.
Those functions are called BIFs (built-in internal functions)
in Erlang-land and they exhibit interesting properties, as some
of them are allowed in guards and others are used for compiler
optimizations.
Most of the inlined functions can be seen in effect when
capturing the function:
iex> &Kernel.is_atom/1
&:erlang.is_atom/1
Those functions will be explicitly marked in their docs as
"inlined by the compiler".

Stops the execution of the calling process with the given reason.
Since evaluating this function causes the process to terminate,
it has no return value.
Inlined by the compiler.
## Examples
When a process reaches its end, by default it exits with
reason `:normal`. You can also call `exit/1` explicitly if you
want to terminate a process but not signal any failure:
exit(:normal)
In case something goes wrong, you can also use `exit/1` with
a different reason:
exit(:seems_bad)
If the exit reason is not `:normal`, all the processes linked to the process
that exited will crash (unless they are trapping exits).
## OTP exits
Exits are used by the OTP to determine if a process exited abnormally
or not. The following exits are considered "normal":
* `exit(:normal)`
* `exit(:shutdown)`
* `exit({:shutdown, term})`
Exiting with any other reason is considered abnormal and treated
as a crash. This means the default supervisor behaviour kicks in,
error reports are emitted, and so forth.
This behaviour is relied on in many different places. For example,
`ExUnit` uses `exit(:shutdown)` when exiting the test process to
signal linked processes, supervision trees and so on to politely
shut down too.
## CLI exits
Building on top of the exit signals mentioned above, if the
process started by the command line exits with any of the three
reasons above, its exit is considered normal and the Operating
System process will exit with status 0.
It is, however, possible to customize the operating system exit
signal by invoking:
exit({:shutdown, integer})
This will cause the operating system process to exit with the status given by
`integer` while signaling all linked Erlang processes to politely
shut down.
Any other exit reason will cause the operating system process to exit with
status `1` and linked Erlang processes to crash.

representation of an Elixir term. In such cases, the inspected result
must start with `#`. For example, inspecting a function will return:
inspect(fn a, b -> a + b end)
#=> #Function<...>
The `Inspect` protocol can be derived to hide certain fields
from structs, so they don't show up in logs, inspects and similar.
See the "Deriving" section of the documentation of the `Inspect`
protocol for more information.

Creates and updates a struct.
The `struct` argument may be an atom (which defines `defstruct`)
or a `struct` itself. The second argument is any `Enumerable` that
emits two-element tuples (key-value pairs) during enumeration.
Keys in the `Enumerable` that don't exist in the struct are automatically
discarded. Note that keys must be atoms, as only atoms are allowed when
defining a struct. If keys in the `Enumerable` are duplicated, the last
entry will be taken (same behaviour as `Map.new/1`).
This function is useful for dynamically creating and updating structs, as
well as for converting maps to structs; in the latter case, just inserting
the appropriate `:__struct__` field into the map may not be enough and
`struct/2` should be used instead.

Similar to `struct/2` but checks for key validity.
The function `struct!/2` emulates the compile time behaviour
of structs. This means that:

it is equivalent to `%SomeStruct{key: :value}` and therefore this
function will check if every given key-value belongs to the struct.
If the struct is enforcing any key via `@enforce_keys`, those will
be enforced as well;

it is equivalent to `%SomeStruct{struct | key: :value}` and therefore this

Gets a value from a nested structure.
Uses the `Access` module to traverse the structures
according to the given `keys`, unless the `key` is a
function, which is detailed in a later section.
## Examples
iex> users = %{"john" => %{age: 27}, "meg" => %{age: 23}}
iex> get_in(users, ["john", :age])
27
`get_in/2` can also use the accessors in the `Access` module
to traverse more complex data structures. For example, here we
use `Access.all/0` to traverse a list:
iex> users = [%{name: "john", age: 27}, %{name: "meg", age: 23}]
iex> get_in(users, [Access.all(), :age])
[27, 23]
In case any of the components returns `nil`, `nil` will be returned
and `get_in/2` won't traverse any futher:
iex> users = %{"john" => %{age: 27}, "meg" => %{age: 23}}
iex> get_in(users, ["unknown", :age])
nil
iex> users = nil
iex> get_in(users, [Access.all(), :age])
nil
The main feature of `get_in/2` is precisely that it aborts traversal
when a `nil` value is found. Unless you need nil-safety, you are likely
better off by writing "regular" Elixir code:
iex> users = %{"john" => %{age: 27}, "meg" => %{age: 23}}
iex> users["john"][:age]
27
iex> users = [%{name: "john", age: 27}, %{name: "meg", age: 23}]
iex> Enum.map(users, fn user -> user[:age] end)
[27, 23]
Alternatively, if you need to access complex data-structures, you can
use pattern matching:
case users do
%{"john" => %{age: age}} -> age
_ -> default_value
end
## Functions as keys
If a key given to `get_in/2` is a function, the function will be invoked
passing three arguments:
* the operation (`:get`)
* the data to be accessed
* a function to be invoked next
This means `get_in/2` can be extended to provide custom lookups.
That's precisely how the `Access.all/0` key in the previous section
behaves. For example, we can manually implement such traversal as
follows:
iex> users = [%{name: "john", age: 27}, %{name: "meg", age: 23}]
iex> all = fn :get, data, next -> Enum.map(data, next) end
iex> get_in(users, [all, :age])
[27, 23]
The `Access` module ships with many convenience accessor functions.
See `Access.all/0`, `Access.key/2`, and others as examples.
## Working with structs
By default, structs do not implement the `Access` behaviour required
by this function. Therefore, you can't do this:
get_in(some_struct, [:some_key, :nested_key])
The good news is that structs have predefined shape. Therefore,
you can write instead:
some_struct.some_key.nested_key
If, by any chance, `some_key` can return nil, you can always
fallback to pattern matching to provide nested struct handling:
case some_struct do
%{some_key: %{nested_key: value}} -> value
%{} -> nil
end

Gets a value and updates a nested structure.
`data` is a nested structure (that is, a map, keyword
list, or struct that implements the `Access` behaviour).
The `fun` argument receives the value of `key` (or `nil` if `key`
is not present) and must return one of the following values:
* a two-element tuple `{current_value, new_value}`. In this case,
`current_value` is the retrieved value which can possibly be operated on before
being returned. `new_value` is the new value to be stored under `key`.
* `:pop`, which implies that the current value under `key`
should be removed from the structure and returned.
This function uses the `Access` module to traverse the structures
according to the given `keys`, unless the `key` is a function,
which is detailed in a later section.
## Examples
This function is useful when there is a need to retrieve the current
value (or something calculated in function of the current value) and
update it at the same time. For example, it could be used to read the
current age of a user while increasing it by one in one pass:
iex> users = %{"john" => %{age: 27}, "meg" => %{age: 23}}
iex> get_and_update_in(users, ["john", :age], &{&1, &1 + 1})
{27, %{"john" => %{age: 28}, "meg" => %{age: 23}}}
Note the current value given to the anonymous function may be `nil`.
If any of the intermediate values are nil, it will raise:
iex> users = %{"john" => %{age: 27}, "meg" => %{age: 23}}
iex> get_and_update_in(users, ["jane", :age], &{&1, &1 + 1})
** (ArgumentError) could not put/update key :age on a nil value
## Functions as keys
If a key is a function, the function will be invoked passing three
arguments:
* the operation (`:get_and_update`)
* the data to be accessed
* a function to be invoked next
This means `get_and_update_in/3` can be extended to provide custom
lookups. The downside is that functions cannot be stored as keys
in the accessed data structures.
When one of the keys is a function, the function is invoked.
In the example below, we use a function to get and increment all
ages inside a list:
iex> users = [%{name: "john", age: 27}, %{name: "meg", age: 23}]
iex> all = fn :get_and_update, data, next ->
...> data |> Enum.map(next) |> Enum.unzip()
...> end
iex> get_and_update_in(users, [all, :age], &{&1, &1 + 1})
{[27, 23], [%{name: "john", age: 28}, %{name: "meg", age: 24}]}
If the previous value before invoking the function is `nil`,
the function *will* receive `nil` as a value and must handle it
accordingly (be it by failing or providing a sane default).
The `Access` module ships with many convenience accessor functions,
like the `all` anonymous function defined above. See `Access.all/0`,
`Access.key/2`, and others as examples.

* `foo[bar]` - accesses the key `bar` in `foo`; in case `foo` is nil,
`nil` is returned

present, an error is raised

users["john"][:age]
users["john"].age
User.all()["john"].age

A convenience macro that checks if the right side (an expression) matches the

## Examples

iex> map = %{a: 1, b: 2}
iex> match?(%{a: _}, map)

`match?/2` is very useful when filtering or finding a value in an enumerable:
iex> list = [a: 1, b: 2, a: 3]
iex> Enum.filter(list, &match?({:a, _}, &1))
[a: 1, a: 3]
Guard clauses can also be given to the match:
iex> list = [a: 1, b: 2, a: 3]
iex> Enum.filter(list, &match?({:a, x} when x < 2, &1))
[a: 1]
However, variables assigned in the match will not be available
outside of the function call (unlike regular pattern matching with the `=`
operator):
iex> match?(_x, 1)
true
iex> binding()
[]
Furthermore, remember the pin operator matches _values_, not _patterns_:
match?(%{x: 1}, %{x: 1, y: 2})
#=> true
attrs = %{x: 1}
match?(^attrs, %{x: 1, y: 2})
#=> false
The pin operator will check if the values are equal, using `===/2`, while
patterns have their own rules when matching maps, lists, and so forth.
Such behaviour is not specific to `match?/2`. The following code also
throws an exception:
attrs = %{x: 1}
^attrs = %{x: 1, y: 2}

@doc """
Module attribute unary operator.
Reads and writes attributes in the current module.
The canonical example for attributes is annotating that a module
implements an OTP behaviour, such as `GenServer`:
defmodule MyServer do
@behaviour GenServer
# ... callbacks ...
end
By default Elixir supports all the module attributes supported by Erlang, but
custom attributes can be used as well:
defmodule MyServer do
@my_data 13
IO.inspect(@my_data)
#=> 13
end
Unlike Erlang, such attributes are not stored in the module by default since
it is common in Elixir to use custom attributes to store temporary data that
will be available at compile-time. Custom attributes may be configured to
behave closer to Erlang by using `Module.register_attribute/3`.
> **Important:** Libraries and frameworks should consider prefixing any
> module attributes that are private by underscore, such as `@_my_data`
> so code completion tools do not show them on suggestions and prompts.
Finally, note that attributes can also be read inside functions:
defmodule MyServer do
@my_data 11
def first_data, do: @my_data
@my_data 13
def second_data, do: @my_data
end
MyServer.first_data()
#=> 11
MyServer.second_data()
#=> 13
It is important to note that reading an attribute takes a snapshot of
its current value. In other words, the value is read at compilation
time and not at runtime. Check the `Module` module for other functions
to manipulate module attributes.
## Attention! Multiple references of the same attribute
As mentioned above, every time you read a module attribute, a snapshot
of its current value is taken. Therefore, if you are storing large
values inside module attributes (for example, embedding external files
in module attributes), you should avoid referencing the same attribute
multiple times. For example, don't do this:
@files %{
example1: File.read!("lib/example1.data"),
example2: File.read!("lib/example2.data")
}
def example1, do: @files[:example1]
def example2, do: @files[:example2]
In the above, each reference to `@files` may end-up with a complete
and individual copy of the whole `@files` module attribute. Instead,
reference the module attribute once in a private function:
@files %{
example1: File.read!("lib/example1.data"),
example2: File.read!("lib/example2.data")
}
defp files(), do: @files
def example1, do: files()[:example1]
def example2, do: files()[:example2]
## Attention! Compile-time dependencies
Keep in mind references to other modules, even in module attributes,
generate compile-time dependencies to said modules.
For example, take this common pattern:
@values [:foo, :bar, :baz]
def handle_arg(arg) when arg in @values do
...
end
While the above is fine, imagine if instead you have actual
module names in the module attribute, like this:
@values [Foo, Bar, Baz]
def handle_arg(arg) when arg in @values do
...
end
The code above will define a compile-time dependency on the modules
`Foo`, `Bar`, and `Baz`, in a way that, if any of them change, the
current module will have to recompile. In such cases, it may be
preferred to avoid the module attribute altogether:
def handle_arg(arg) when arg in [Foo, Bar, Baz] do
...

to the `List.flatten/1` function, then the flattened list is passed as the
first argument to the `Enum.map/2` function which doubles each element of the
list.
In other words, the expression above simply translates to:
Enum.map(List.flatten([1, [2], 3]), fn x -> x * 2 end)
## Pitfalls
There are two common pitfalls when using the pipe operator.
The first one is related to operator precedence. For example,
the following expression:
String.graphemes "Hello" |> Enum.reverse
Translates to:
String.graphemes("Hello" |> Enum.reverse())
which results in an error as the `Enumerable` protocol is not defined
for binaries. Adding explicit parentheses resolves the ambiguity:
String.graphemes("Hello") |> Enum.reverse()
Or, even better:
"Hello" |> String.graphemes() |> Enum.reverse()
The second limitation is that Elixir always pipes to a function
call. Therefore, to pipe into an anonymous function, you need to
invoke it:
some_fun = &Regex.replace(~r/l/, &1, "L")
"Hello" |> some_fun.()
Alternatively, you can use `then/2` for the same effect:
some_fun = &Regex.replace(~r/l/, &1, "L")
"Hello" |> then(some_fun)
`then/2` is most commonly used when you want to pipe to a function
but the value is expected outside of the first argument, such as
above. By replacing `some_fun` by its value, we get:
"Hello" |> then(&Regex.replace(~r/l/,&1, "L"))

Membership operator. Checks if the element on the left-hand side is a member of the
collection on the right-hand side.
## Examples
iex> x = 1
iex> x in [1, 2, 3]
true
This operator (which is a macro) simply translates to a call to
`Enum.member?/2`. The example above would translate to:
Enum.member?([1, 2, 3], x)
Elixir also supports `left not in right`, which evaluates to
`not(left in right)`:
iex> x = 1
iex> x not in [1, 2, 3]
false
## Guards
The `in/2` operator (as well as `not in`) can be used in guard clauses as
long as the right-hand side is a range or a list. In such cases, Elixir will
expand the operator to a valid guard expression. For example:
when x in [1, 2, 3]
translates to:
when x === 1 or x === 2 or x === 3
However, this construct will be inneficient for large lists. In such cases, it
is best to stop using guards and use a more appropriate data structure, such
as `MapSet`.
### AST considerations
`left not in right` is parsed by the compiler into the AST:
{:not, _, [{:in, _, [left, right]}]}
This is the same AST as `not(left in right)`.
Additionally, `Macro.to_string/2` and `Code.format_string!/2`
will translate all occurrences of this AST to `left not in right`.

## Definitions implemented in Elixir
@doc ~S"""
Defines a module given by name with the given contents.
This macro defines a module with the given `alias` as its name and with the
given contents. It returns a tuple with four elements:
* `:module`
* the module name
* the binary contents of the module
* the result of evaluating the contents block
## Examples
defmodule Number do
def one, do: 1
def two, do: 2
end
#=> {:module, Number, <<70, 79, 82, ...>>, {:two, 0}}
Number.one()
#=> 1
Number.two()
#=> 2
## Nesting
Nesting a module inside another module affects the name of the nested module:
defmodule Foo do
defmodule Bar do
end
end
In the example above, two modules - `Foo` and `Foo.Bar` - are created.
When nesting, Elixir automatically creates an alias to the inner module,
allowing the second module `Foo.Bar` to be accessed as `Bar` in the same
lexical scope where it's defined (the `Foo` module). This only happens
if the nested module is defined via an alias.
If the `Foo.Bar` module is moved somewhere else, the references to `Bar` in
the `Foo` module need to be updated to the fully-qualified name (`Foo.Bar`) or
an alias has to be explicitly set in the `Foo` module with the help of
`Kernel.SpecialForms.alias/2`.
defmodule Foo.Bar do
# code
end
defmodule Foo do
alias Foo.Bar
# code here can refer to "Foo.Bar" as just "Bar"
end
## Dynamic names
Elixir module names can be dynamically generated. This is very
useful when working with macros. For instance, one could write:
defmodule String.to_atom("Foo#{1}") do
# contents ...
end
Elixir will accept any module name as long as the expression passed as the
first argument to `defmodule/2` evaluates to an atom.
Note that, when a dynamic name is used, Elixir won't nest the name under
the current module nor automatically set up an alias.
## Reserved module names
If you attempt to define a module that already exists, you will get a
warning saying that a module has been redefined.
There are some modules that Elixir does not currently implement but it
may be implement in the future. Those modules are reserved and defining
them will result in a compilation error:
defmodule Any do
# code
end
** (CompileError) iex:1: module Any is reserved and cannot be defined
Elixir reserves the following module names: `Elixir`, `Any`, `BitString`,
`PID`, and `Reference`.

@doc ~S"""
Defines a public function with the given name and body.
## Examples
defmodule Foo do
def bar, do: :baz
end
Foo.bar()
#=> :baz
A function that expects arguments can be defined as follows:
defmodule Foo do
def sum(a, b) do
a + b
end
end
In the example above, a `sum/2` function is defined; this function receives
two arguments and returns their sum.
## Default arguments
`\\` is used to specify a default value for a parameter of a function. For
example:
defmodule MyMath do
def multiply_by(number, factor \\ 2) do
number * factor
end
end
MyMath.multiply_by(4, 3)
#=> 12
MyMath.multiply_by(4)
#=> 8
The compiler translates this into multiple functions with different arities,
here `MyMath.multiply_by/1` and `MyMath.multiply_by/2`, that represent cases when
arguments for parameters with default values are passed or not passed.
When defining a function with default arguments as well as multiple
explicitly declared clauses, you must write a function head that declares the
defaults. For example:
defmodule MyString do
def join(string1, string2 \\ nil, separator \\ " ")
def join(string1, nil, _separator) do
string1
end
def join(string1, string2, separator) do
string1 <> separator <> string2
end
end
Note that `\\` can't be used with anonymous functions because they
can only have a sole arity.
### Keyword lists with default arguments
Functions containing many arguments can benefit from using `Keyword`
lists to group and pass attributes as a single value.
defmodule MyConfiguration do
@default_opts [storage: "local"]
def configure(resource, opts \\ []) do
opts = Keyword.merge(@default_opts, opts)
storage = opts[:storage]
# ...
end
end
The difference between using `Map` and `Keyword` to store many
arguments is `Keyword`'s keys:
* must be atoms
* can be given more than once
* ordered, as specified by the developer
## Function and variable names
Function and variable names have the following syntax:
A _lowercase ASCII letter_ or an _underscore_, followed by any number of
_lowercase or uppercase ASCII letters_, _numbers_, or _underscores_.
Optionally they can end in either an _exclamation mark_ or a _question mark_.
For variables, any identifier starting with an underscore should indicate an
unused variable. For example:
def foo(bar) do
[]
end
#=> warning: variable bar is unused
def foo(_bar) do
[]
end
#=> no warning
def foo(_bar) do
_bar
end
#=> warning: the underscored variable "_bar" is used after being set
## `rescue`/`catch`/`after`/`else`
Function bodies support `rescue`, `catch`, `after`, and `else` as `Kernel.SpecialForms.try/1`
does (known as "implicit try"). For example, the following two functions are equivalent:
def convert(number) do
try do
String.to_integer(number)
rescue
e in ArgumentError -> {:error, e.message}
end
end
def convert(number) do
String.to_integer(number)
rescue
e in ArgumentError -> {:error, e.message}

Defines a struct.
A struct is a tagged map that allows developers to provide
default values for keys, tags to be used in polymorphic
dispatches and compile time assertions. For more information
about structs, please check `Kernel.SpecialForms.%/2`.
It is only possible to define a struct per module, as the
struct it tied to the module itself. Calling `defstruct/1`
also defines a `__struct__/0` function that returns the
struct itself.
## Examples
defmodule User do
defstruct name: nil, age: nil
end
Struct fields are evaluated at compile-time, which allows
them to be dynamic. In the example below, `10 + 11` is
evaluated at compile-time and the age field is stored
with value `21`:
defmodule User do
defstruct name: nil, age: 10 + 11
end
The `fields` argument is usually a keyword list with field names
as atom keys and default values as corresponding values. `defstruct/1`
also supports a list of atoms as its argument: in that case, the atoms
in the list will be used as the struct's field names and they will all
default to `nil`.
defmodule Post do
defstruct [:title, :content, :author]
end
## Deriving
Although structs are maps, by default structs do not implement
any of the protocols implemented for maps. For example, attempting
to use a protocol with the `User` struct leads to an error:
john = %User{name: "John"}
MyProtocol.call(john)
** (Protocol.UndefinedError) protocol MyProtocol not implemented for %User{...}
`defstruct/1`, however, allows protocol implementations to be
*derived*. This can be done by defining a `@derive` attribute as a
list before invoking `defstruct/1`:
defmodule User do
@derive [MyProtocol]
defstruct name: nil, age: 10 + 11
end
MyProtocol.call(john) # it works!
For each protocol in the `@derive` list, Elixir will assert the protocol has
been implemented for `Any`. If the `Any` implementation defines a
`__deriving__/3` callback, the callback will be invoked and it should define
the implementation module. Otherwise an implementation that simply points to
the `Any` implementation is automatically derived. For more information on
the `__deriving__/3` callback, see `Protocol.derive/3`.
## Enforcing keys
When building a struct, Elixir will automatically guarantee all keys
belongs to the struct:
%User{name: "john", unknown: :key}
** (KeyError) key :unknown not found in: %User{age: 21, name: nil}
Elixir also allows developers to enforce certain keys must always be
given when building the struct:
defmodule User do
@enforce_keys [:name]
defstruct name: nil, age: 10 + 11
end
Now trying to build a struct without the name key will fail:
%User{age: 21}
** (ArgumentError) the following keys must also be given when building struct User: [:name]
Keep in mind `@enforce_keys` is a simple compile-time guarantee
to aid developers when building structs. It is not enforced on
updates and it does not provide any sort of value-validation.
## Types
It is recommended to define types for structs. By convention such type
is called `t`. To define a struct inside a type, the struct literal syntax
is used:
defmodule User do
defstruct name: "John", age: 25
@type t :: %__MODULE__{name: String.t(), age: non_neg_integer}
end
It is recommended to only use the struct syntax when defining the struct's
type. When referring to another struct it's better to use `User.t` instead of
`%User{}`.
The types of the struct fields that are not included in `%User{}` default to
`term()` (see `t:term/0`).
Structs whose internal structure is private to the local module (pattern
matching them or directly accessing their fields should not be allowed) should
use the `@opaque` attribute. Structs whose internal structure is public should
use `@type`.

Defines an exception.
Exceptions are structs backed by a module that implements
the `Exception` behaviour. The `Exception` behaviour requires
two functions to be implemented:
* [`exception/1`](`c:Exception.exception/1`) - receives the arguments given to `raise/2`
and returns the exception struct. The default implementation
accepts either a set of keyword arguments that is merged into
the struct or a string to be used as the exception's message.
* [`message/1`](`c:Exception.message/1`) - receives the exception struct and must return its
message. Most commonly exceptions have a message field which
by default is accessed by this function. However, if an exception
does not have a message field, this function must be explicitly
implemented.
Since exceptions are structs, the API supported by `defstruct/1`
is also available in `defexception/1`.
## Raising exceptions
The most common way to raise an exception is via `raise/2`:
defmodule MyAppError do
defexception [:message]
end
value = [:hello]
raise MyAppError,
message: "did not get what was expected, got: #{inspect(value)}"
In many cases it is more convenient to pass the expected value to
`raise/2` and generate the message in the `c:Exception.exception/1` callback:
defmodule MyAppError do
defexception [:message]
@impl true
def exception(value) do
msg = "did not get what was expected, got: #{inspect(value)}"
%MyAppError{message: msg}
end
end
raise MyAppError, value
The example above shows the preferred strategy for customizing
exception messages.

Makes the given definitions in the current module overridable.
If the user defines a new function or macro with the same name
and arity, then the overridable ones are discarded. Otherwise, the
original definitions are used.
It is possible for the overridden definition to have a different visibility
than the original: a public function can be overridden by a private
function and vice-versa.
Macros cannot be overridden as functions and vice-versa.
## Example
defmodule DefaultMod do
defmacro __using__(_opts) do

Generates a macro suitable for use in guard expressions.

guards with the `is_` prefix, such as `is_list/1`. If, however, the
function/macro returns a boolean and is not allowed in guards, it should
have no prefix and end with a question mark, such as `Keyword.keyword?/1`.

Uses the given module in the current context.
When calling:
use MyModule, some: :options
the `__using__/1` macro from the `MyModule` module is invoked with the second
argument passed to `use` as its argument. Since `__using__/1` is a macro, all
the usual macro rules apply, and its return value should be quoted code
that is then inserted where `use/2` is called.
## Examples
For example, to write test cases using the `ExUnit` framework provided
with Elixir, a developer should `use` the `ExUnit.Case` module:
defmodule AssertionTest do
use ExUnit.Case, async: true
test "always pass" do
assert true
end
end
In this example, Elixir will call the `__using__/1` macro in the
`ExUnit.Case` module with the keyword list `[async: true]` as its
argument.
In other words, `use/2` translates to:
defmodule AssertionTest do
require ExUnit.Case
ExUnit.Case.__using__(async: true)
test "always pass" do
assert true
end
end
where `ExUnit.Case` defines the `__using__/1` macro:
defmodule ExUnit.Case do
defmacro __using__(opts) do
# do something with opts
quote do
# return some code to inject in the caller
end
end
end
## Best practices
`__using__/1` is typically used when there is a need to set some state (via
module attributes) or callbacks (like `@before_compile`, see the documentation
for `Module` for more information) into the caller.
`__using__/1` may also be used to alias, require, or import functionality
from different modules:
defmodule MyModule do
defmacro __using__(_opts) do
quote do
import MyModule.Foo
import MyModule.Bar
import MyModule.Baz
alias MyModule.Repo
end
end
end
However, do not provide `__using__/1` if all it does is to import,
alias or require the module itself. For example, avoid this:
defmodule MyModule do
defmacro __using__(_opts) do
quote do
import MyModule
end
end
end
In such cases, developers should instead import or alias the module
directly, so that they can customize those as they wish,
without the indirection behind `use/2`.
Finally, developers should also avoid defining functions inside
the `__using__/1` callback, unless those functions are the default
implementation of a previously defined `@callback` or are functions
meant to be overridden (see `defoverridable/1`). Even in these cases,
defining functions should be seen as a "last resort".
In case you want to provide some existing functionality to the user module,
please define it in a module which will be imported accordingly; for example,
`ExUnit.Case` doesn't define the `test/3` macro in the module that calls
`use ExUnit.Case`, but it defines `ExUnit.Case.test/3` and just imports that
into the caller when used.

Defines a function that delegates to another module.
Functions defined with `defdelegate/2` are public and can be invoked from
outside the module they're defined in, as if they were defined using `def/2`.
Therefore, `defdelegate/2` is about extending the current module's public API.
If what you want is to invoke a function defined in another module without
using its full module name, then use `alias/2` to shorten the module name or use
`import/2` to be able to invoke the function without the module name altogether.
Delegation only works with functions; delegating macros is not supported.
Check `def/2` for rules on naming and default arguments.
## Options
* `:to` - the module to dispatch to.
* `:as` - the function to call on the target given in `:to`.
This parameter is optional and defaults to the name being
delegated (`funs`).

Handles the sigil `~w` for list of words.
It returns a list of "words" split by whitespace. Character unescaping and
interpolation happens for each word.
## Modifiers
* `s`: words in the list are strings (default)
* `a`: words in the list are atoms
* `c`: words in the list are charlists
## Examples
iex> ~w(foo #{:bar} baz)
["foo", "bar", "baz"]
iex> ~w(foo #{" bar baz "})
["foo", "bar", "baz"]
iex> ~w(--source test/enum_test.exs)
["--source", "test/enum_test.exs"]
iex> ~w(foo bar baz)a
[:foo, :bar, :baz]
iex> ~w(foo bar baz)c
