The command "elm repl" is used to start the Elm REPL (Read-Eval-Print Loop) in the command-line interface. The Elm REPL is a tool that allows you to interactively experiment and evaluate Elm expressions and code.
When you run the "elm repl" command, it launches an interactive session where you can enter Elm expressions, such as mathematical calculations or function calls, and see the results immediately. The REPL reads your input, evaluates the expression, prints the result, and then prompts you for the next input.
The Elm REPL is a useful tool for learning and exploring the Elm language. You can experiment with different expressions, test small code snippets, and verify your understanding of how Elm code behaves. It also provides suggestions and hints as you type, making it easier to discover the available Elm functions and modules.
Overall, "elm repl" is a command that gives you access to an interactive environment where you can try out Elm code and explore the language's features in real-time.
