   ### 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.

   ### The safe navigation operator ( ?. ) and null property paths
 
   The Angular **safe navigation operator (`?.`)** is a fluent and convenient way to guard against null and undefined values in property paths.
