CallRequiresVariable

Correction

Here is what's right.

One can invoke a method on an object without the reference to that object being stored in a variable. All that is needed is that the expression in front of the ”.” of the call evaluates to an object reference.

For example, one can do method chaining on a normal method:

get().m(); // assuming get() returns an object

Or one can do method chaining on a constructor:

new C().m();

Or one can call a method on an String literal:

"Hi".toString();

Or one can call a method on an object one gets out of an array:

a[0].m();
