=== Common Function Patterns === Elixir provides some common function patterns that are used frequently in codebases. These patterns help with code organization, error handling, and control flow. Some of the common function patterns include: - **Pattern Matching**: Elixir allows you to define multiple function clauses with different patterns. This allows you to match and handle different cases based on the input arguments. - **Guard Clauses**: Guard clauses are used to specify additional conditions for function matching. They can be used to ensure certain conditions are met before executing the function body. - **Recursion**: Elixir promotes recursive function calls instead of traditional loops. This allows you to solve problems using a functional programming approach.
