[erlang-questions] Learning Erlang from the Armstrong book

[Tony Cappellini]

I didn't start on a random page. I've read it from the beginning to page 48-
This is the page where the quote is that I posted in my message.

 This quote appears on Page 14 in my book. It's likely we have different
printings

I probably read this last week or so, when I had first started reading the
book, but it's soemthing that didn't stick with me.

(syntactically correct that is)

Is the code on page 54 supposed to work in the shell?
