The comparison operators in Elixir can compare across any data type. We say these operators perform _structural comparison_. For more information, you can read our documentation on [Structural vs Semantic comparisons](`Kernel#module-structural-comparison`).

Elixir also provides data-types for expressing collections, such as lists and tuples, which we learn next. When we talk about concurrency and fault-tolerance via processes, we will also discuss ports, pids, and references, but that will come on later chapters. Let's move forward.
