{{% note %}} We are making an effort to unify our terminology, and to use these terms consistently throughout the documentation.

Historically, we have inconsistently referred to the items on this page as functions, parameters, variables, or methods. They are not functions, parameters, or variables; they are methods.

This page will remain in place as readers become familiar with the unified terminology. See the methods section for a list of methods by object, or the methods quick reference guide.
