Chapter 5 – Exercise "running elixir through CLI"

[jonathan-soifer]

Hi!

Good afternoon 😊

At the end of Chapter 5, the last exercise is about saving any of the code to its own file and experimenting with the CLI

TL;DR: It seems like we need to use IO.puts/1 in order to complete this exercise in a way that a "newbie" would feel comfortable (by seeing the output to the console)

Unless I am mistaken, I believe this was not taught before and this might demotivate some people.

Would you consider changing this?
