Elixir lists interpreted as char lists

Question

I\'m just starting out with Elixir. I\'m writing some tests using ExUnit for simple Enumerable functions that I am implementing myself, without using the standard Enum modul

Answer 1

While @Patrick's answer is absolutely correct, you can also configure IEx to always display charlists as regular lists instead of manually calling inspect every single time:

iex> IEx.configure(inspect: [charlists: :as_lists])
# => :ok

iex> [65, 66, 67]
# => [65, 66, 67]

iex> 'ABC'
# => [65, 66, 67]
