in Kotlin, every child object of a nullable object will inherit that nullability.

can someone direct me to the relevant documentation on this behavior?

bob?.department?.head?.name is of type String? and is null if any of bob, department or head is null

that i understand, but that is not what i had inferred "every child object of a nullable object" to be in reference to -- it had sounded to me like the author was making an assertion about fields/properties.
