| Sep 12, 2014 at 23:49 | comment | added | Adam Lear♦ | The point of method chaining is that the result is always valid and can be acted on by the next method call. There shouldn't be such a thing as an invalid value. Can you expand on your use case? What are you actually trying to accomplish? Method chaining might be the wrong approach. | |

| Sep 12, 2014 at 23:42 | comment | added | user40980 | What language is this in? I can think of possible approaches in languages that have some introspection of their calling environment (example perl's wantarray), however don't see this at all possible as something in more strict languages such as Java (unless you go through some impractical convolutions). | |
