What is Erlang?

Erlang is a programming language used to build massively scalable soft real-time systems with requirements on high availability. Some of its uses are in telecoms, banking, e-commerce, computer telephony and instant messaging. Erlang's runtime system has built-in support for concurrency, distribution and fault tolerance.

 

 

Starting erlang

If you are running a unix system type "erl" or, if you are running on windows start Erlang by clicking on the Erlang start icon. You should see something like this:

$ erl
Erlang R14B (erts-5.8.1.1) [source] [smp:2:2] [rq:2] [async-threads:0] [kernel-poll:false]

Eshell V5.8.1.1 (abort with ^G)

The ">" prompt means the system is waiting for input.Using Erlang as a calculator

 

1> 2*6.

Remember to terminate every expression with a DOT followed by a newline!

Editing previous expressions

Previous expressions can be retrieved and edited using simple emacs line editing commands. The most common of these are:

• ^P fetch the previous line.
• ^N fetch the next line.
• ^A Go to the beginning of the current line.
• ^E Go to the end of the current line.
• ^D Delete the character under the cursor.
• ^F Go forward by one character.
• ^B Go Back by one character.
• Return Evaluate the current command.

Note: ^X means press Control + X

Try typing Control+P to see what happens.

Compiling your first program

Type the following into a file using your favorite text editor:

 

 

-module(test).
-export([fac/1]).

 

 
fac(0) -> 1;
fac(N) -> N * fac(N-1).

 

 

Save the file as test.erl The file name must be the same as the module name.

Compile the program by typing c(test) then run it:

 

 

3> c(test).
{ok,test}
30> test:fac(20).
2432902008176640000
4> test:fac(40).

Now go and write some games!
