Get introduced to the concept of metaprogramming. Learn how to level up your programming skills by discovering the full potential of the macro system in Elixir. Understand the ins and outs of metaprogramming at a fundamental level and write incredible libraries by doing more with less code.

Metaprogramming in Elixir

The __MIME-Type__ conversion library that we built in this chapter is given as a reference in the project below.
You have to utilize the library to check the following requirements.

For each of the following requirements, write down commands in `iex` that utilize the MIME library to fulfill them.

 1.  Which extension does the `application/atom+xml` type belong to?

2. What is the file type of the `.torrent` extension?

3. Which file type does the `.psb` extension belong to?

4. Which extension does the `application/x-texinfo` type belong to?
5. Which file type does the `.m4v ` extension belong to?

6. What is the extension of the `text/n3` file?

7. Can you verify if `application/vnd.trid.tpt` is a valid file type?

8. Can you verify if `audio/x-realaudio-plugin` is a valid file type?
9. Can you verify if `video/x-pn-plugin` is a valid file type?
10. Can you verify if `image/svg+xml` is a valid file type?
