     9  
    10  The Terraform language includes a few kinds of blocks for requesting or
    11  publishing named values.
    12  
    13  - [Input Variables](/language/values/variables) serve as parameters for
    14    a Terraform module, so users can customize behavior without editing the source.
    15  
    16  - [Output Values](/language/values/outputs) are like return values for a
    17    Terraform module.
    18  
    19  - [Local Values](/language/values/locals) are a convenience feature for
    20    assigning a short name to an expression.
