You have mentioned method chaining in this video. No reference to that in Java basic courses. Did I miss something?

Craig has mentioned method chaining during jshell demo. This topic is not covered in the Java basics. Did I miss something?

It's a pretty straight forward concept from left to right run the function. think of it like this 2 + 3 - 8. each number is a value and the plus and minus is the function you are running on the values. So take 2 then run the plus function on it that gets passed the value 3. Then take 5 and run the minus function that gets passed 8 ect. Of course you do t always have to pass a value in programming but it just makes the analogy easier to understand.
