# Dynamically Generating Atoms
|
||||
|
||||
> Atoms are constants where their name is their own value.
|
||||
|
||||
The use of atoms like `:ok` and `:error` show up all over the place in
|
||||
Elixir. These are atoms that tend to be statically defined. Atoms can also
|
||||
be dynamically defined using string interpolation.
|
||||
|
||||
For example, I can generate a handful of atoms by mapping over a range of
|
||||
integers.
|
||||
|
||||
```elixir
|
||||
> Enum.map(1..5, &(:"some_atom_#{&1}"))
|
||||
[:some_atom_1, :some_atom_2, :some_atom_3, :some_atom_4, :some_atom_5]
|
||||
```
