-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].
