# We can also compare two different data types:
# Elixir operators are strict in theiar arguments, with the exception
# of comparison operators that work across different data types:
1 < :hello #=> true
# The overall sorting order is defined below:
# number < atom < reference < functions < port < pid < tuple < list < bit string
# This enables building collections of mixed types:
["string", 123, :atom]
# To quote Joe Armstrong on this: "The actual order is not important,
# While there is an overall order of all data types,
# to quote Joe Armstrong on this: "The actual order is not important,
# but that a total ordering is well defined is important."
