[erlang-questions] Does Erlang Treat Everything Function?

[Mazen Harake]

No this is not true.

See here for functions: 
http://www.erlang.org/doc/reference_manual/functions.html
See here for higher order functions: 
http://www.erlang.org/doc/reference_manual/data_types.html

The rest are just data types.

A Process is an instance of execution inside a given function.

Hope this clears it up a little.

Good luck,
