   ### The pipe operator ( | )
-  Pipes are simple functions that accept an input value and return a transformed value.
   The result of an expression might require some transformation before we’re ready to use it in a binding.  For example, we might want to display a number as a currency, force text to uppercase, or filter a list and sort it.
 
-  Angular [pipes](./pipes.html) are a good choice for small transformations such as those listed above.
