No problem. Thank you for your answer and the book that is helping me understand Elixir better.

@APB9785 , thank you. That worked.

HI @alvesgabriel!
The book is quite old but most of that is still valuable.
Like @APB9785 said you should use
Integer.mod/2. Sorry for the error!bye.
APB9785
It should be
Integer.mod/2now.alvesgabriel
Hello, @emadb. How are you?
I’m reading your book and I’m liking. But I’m having a problem in the code of the rover in the chapter 3. In the page 68 you used a function
mod/2but when a run the tests I receive the followed messagewarning: undefined function mod/2. My Erlang/OTP is 23 and Elixir is 1.11.2. My question is: this is the correct function or this function in my Elixir version does not exist more?Since now, thank you for your attention.

Awesome, congratulations @emadb, I’m sure this has introduced Elixir to some new people and clearly has been well received. I was completely unaware of this series all together so will have to check it out and possibly some of the other titles.

Hi @AstonJ Thank you.
The book is really an introduction to the language and the OTP.
I’m very happy to be one of the contest winner and I hope that this would help Elixir to gain traction and to increase its usage among more and more developers!

Ah nice! I had no idea @emadb was writing an Elixir book! Congrats Emanuele!
Seems like a nice length too - I think I might read it as a refresher as it’s been a while since I read Programming Elixir and Elixir in Action.
Let’s make this the official thread for the book and move it to our books section
