+==== Atom ====
+> An atom type represents a fixed constant. The atom value is simply its own name.
+<code elixir>
+# All atoms are preceded with a :
+variable = :an_atom
+</code>
+==== Cond ===
+> Cond follows the first path that evaluates to true. If no path evaluates to true, an error is raised by the runtime.
+<code elixir>

+    true -> :this_is_the_default_way

+==== _ (Underscore) ====
+> When there is a _ instead of a variable or a value, it means the value will be ignored and any value will be accepted
+<code elixir>
+{_, denominator} = Float.ratio(0.25)
+# => {1, 4}
+# the variable `denominator` is bounded to the value 4

+<code elixir>
+[1, _, 3] = [1, "toto", 3]
+# => [1, "toto", 3]

+==== Sigils ( symbols with magical powers ) ====
+>A sigil is an alternative syntax for representing and working with literals
+>A sigil starts with a tilde (~), followed by an upper- or lowercase letter, some delimited content, and perhaps some options
+> The delimiters can be <...>, {...}, [...], (...), |...|, /.../, "...", and '...'
+<code elixir>
+The letter determines the sigil’s type:
+~C  A character list with no escaping or interpolation
+~c  A character list, escaped and interpolated just like a single-quoted string
+~D  A Date in the format yyyy-mm-dd
+~N  A naive (raw) DateTime in the format yyyy-mm-dd hh:mm:ss[.ddd]
+~R  A regular expression with no escaping or interpolation
+~r  A regular expression, escaped and interpolated
+~S  A string with no escaping or interpolation
+~s  A string, escaped and interpolated just like a double-quoted string
+~T  A Time in the format hh:mm:ss[.dddd]
+~W  A list of whitespace-delimited words, with no escaping or interpolation
+~w  A list of whitespace-delimited words, with escaping and interpolation
