    1. Ok I understand that - but we started this discussion on pattern matching saying this is a match operator and not an assignment operator. So, how does assignment work in Elixir?

      This is exactly what I was looking for when pattern matching was first mentioned! It would be great to have this detailed explanation right when the concept gets introduced, instead of after the inspect topic.

      edit: Just realized that it got explained in the Printing Values section
