Hi what would be the function that allows the reading of data in the elixir, as for example in C (scanf) or C ++ (cin).

Hello and welcome,

Please use english as language, as not everybody can speak portuguese.

You are looking for IO.gets I think…

You can start by the official documentation.

https://hexdocs.pm/elixir/IO.html#content

You have hyperlinks to directly access the code.

That is also directly available from the iex shell:

$  iex
Erlang/OTP 23 [erts-11.1.6] [source] [64-bit] [smp:4:4] [ds:4:4:10] [async-threads:1]

Interactive Elixir (1.11.3) - press Ctrl+C to exit (type h() ENTER for help)
iex(1)> h IO



                                       IO                                       

Functions handling input/output (IO).

Many functions in this module expect an IO device as an argument. An IO device
must be a PID or an atom representing a process. For convenience, Elixir
provides :stdio and :stderr as shortcuts to Erlang's :standard_io and
:standard_error.

I think I knew it :slight_smile:

But sometime I forget…

And last day I was depressed, again, to find I gave the solution to an actual problem, some years ago, on this forum.
