The use of conditionals in Elixir and functional programming
In their learning journey of Elixir and functional programming, Electronic_Pepper382, who follows the 'Elixir for Programmers' course, notices an avoidance of using traditional if/else conditional statements. Instead, the course instructor demonstrates using pattern matching to handle cases, which seems counterintuitive to the author. For example, a code segment returns specific states without using conditionals but rather multiple function definitions. The author speculates whether this approach showcases pattern matching or has deeper reasoning in functional programming.
