Can someone explain these lines of Laravel code? : <p>I am completely new to Laravel and I have been given a project I need to edit. So I have been tracing through the project trying to understand what it is doing. I have read a lot of the docs and I have run across something I don't fully understand.</p>

<p>Can someone help explain these lines of code:</p>

<p><div class="snippet" data-lang="js" data-hide="false" data-console="true" data-babel="false">
<div class="snippet-code">
<pre class="snippet-code-html lang-html prettyprint-override"><code>$account = Account::find($account_id);
$settings = $account-&gt;accountSettings;</code></pre>
</div>
</div>
</p>

<p>So specifically the: <code>Account::find($account_id);</code> and the <code>$account-&gt;accountSettings;</code></p>

<p>Obviously, you aren't going to know what the variables contain and stuff, I am not asking for that. I am asking strictly for understanding WHAT is happening specifically.</p>

<p>Thanks in advanced.</p>
