I have watched this video about 6 times and still don't understand how it applies to the exercise that comes after.

I don't exactly understand what you are looking for with your question but these were some of my takeaways from this exercise ^^.

Well it basically tells you that within the same class you can create methods which depend upon the methods in that same class. Even if they are created after the method you call them in.

Cool thing is that those methods in your method can be called without declaring an instance or the need to use "static". You also learn how to increment or decrement while also applying your knowledge from the previous courses.

Another fun takeaway from the exercise is that you can always improve your code or implement it differently.

And after all this course is to get you familiar with objects.

I am not talking about a physical link. I am saying the idea in the video doesn't translate to the task they're asking me to do.

should not waste your time.

I can read, you are really not helping so unless you can actually help me, you should waste your time.
