 the ability to use this *method call syntax* via the `impl` keyword.

+## Chaining method calls
+
+So, now we know how to call a method, such as `foo.bar()`. But what about our
+original example, `foo.bar().baz()`? This is called 'method chaining', and we
+can do it by returning `self`.
+
+```
+struct Circle {
+    x: f64,
+    y: f64,
+    radius: f64,

+impl Circle {
+    fn area(&self) -> f64 {

+We just say we're returning a `Circle`. With this, we can grow a new circle

+## Static methods

 You can also define methods that do not take a `self` parameter. Here's a
 pattern that's very common in Rust code:

+## Builder Pattern
+
+Let's say that we want our users to be able to create Circles, but we will
+allow them to only set the properties they care about. Otherwise, the `x`
+and `y` attributes will be `0.0`, and the `radius` will be `1.0`. Rust doesn't
+have method overloading, named arguments, or variable arguments. We employ
+the builder pattern instead. It looks like this:
+
+```
+struct Circle {
+    x: f64,
+    y: f64,
+    radius: f64,
+}
+
+impl Circle {
+    fn area(&self) -> f64 {

+
+    fn coordinate(&mut self, coordinate: f64) -> &mut CircleBuilder {
+	self.coordinate = coordinate;
+	self
+    }
+
+    fn radius(&mut self, radius: f64) -> &mut CircleBuilder {
+	self.radius = radius;
+	self
+    }
+
+    fn finalize(&self) -> Circle {
+        Circle { x: self.coordinate, y: self.coordinate, radius: self.radius }
+    }
+}
+
+fn main() {
+    let c = CircleBuilder::new()
+                .coordinate(10.0)
+                .radius(5.0)
+                .finalize();
+
+
+    println!("area: {}", c.area());
+}
+```
+
+What we've done here is make another struct, `CircleBuilder`. We've defined our
+builder methods on it. We've also defined our `area()` method on `Circle`. We
+also made one more method on `CircleBuilder`: `finalize()`. This method creates
+our final `Circle` from the builder. Now, we've used the type system to enforce
+our concerns: we can use the methods on `CircleBuilder` to constrain making
+`Circle`s in any way we choose.
