Erlang Language Data Types Processes Identifiers (Pid)
Example
Each process in erlang has a process identifier (Pid) in this format <x.x.x>, x being a natural number. Below is an example of a Pid

Pid can be used to send messages to the process using 'bang' (!), also Pid can be bounded to a variable, both are shown below
MyProcessId = self().
MyProcessId ! {"Say Hello"}.
