Lately I’ve been sharpening the saw, sort of. Working on some things that I am not that good at (yet). I spend about 30 minutes a day. It’s a great way to start up and get the juices flowing or spend some time winding down in the evening.
Today I’m writing a Binary Search in Elixir and hit quite a few things I had to Google. This is a list of things I learned in Elixir today:
- I learned that you use Kernel.round/1 to convert float to integer.
round(5.0) => 5
- I learned that you use Enum.to_list/1 to convert a range to a list.
Enum.to_list 1..500 => [1,2,3...]
- I learned there isn’t an Array type
- I learned to access an index for Enum, you use Enum.at/3.
Enum.at([1,2,3], 2) => 3
– The third parameter isdefault
and it’s optional. - I learned that to get the length of a list, use Kernel.length/1.
length([1,2,3]) => 3
