🔗 Learning Elixir: Understanding Atoms, Booleans and nil

Atoms are one of Elixir's fundamental data types, serving as constants whose value is their own name. Along with booleans and nil, they form the backbone of symbolic computation and control flow in Elixir. Understanding how to effectively use these types is crucial for writing idiomatic Elixir code.

Note: The examples in this article use Elixir 1.17.3. While most operations should work across different versions, some functionality might vary.
