This is what I want in a Linux terminal... How can I get this? I will do anything.
Elixir code with the following: iex(1)> fn -> :this_function_returns_an_atom end #Function<43.81571850/0 in :erl_eval.expr/6> iex(2)> # now, i want to reference that function... so i use v() and the line number nil iex(3)> my_function = v(1) #Function<43.81571850/0 in :erl_eval.expr/6> iex(4)> # the elixir function invocation syntax is ".()" so I'll call that on my variable nil iex(5)> my_function.() :this_function_returns_an_atom iex(6)> # now I'll call it on the value of line 1 (the original function declaration) nil iex(7)> v(1).() :this_function_returns_an_atom
