question--find and pipeline

fm867

I use
find . -name "*" | chmod 777

but the result is :
chmod: too few arguments
Try `chmod --help' for more information.

Why it wouldn't work?
Thank you!

为什么要用find呢，好像你是全部都改啊

应该用find -exec 吧, 为什么用管道?

I have tried that
1)chmod -R 777 *
2)find . -name * -exec chmod 777 {} \;
this two command can change all the files in the current directory.
but what about useing 管道 to transfer the search result to chmod command?
