     7  
     8  The Terraform language includes a few kinds of blocks for requesting or
     9  publishing named values.
    10  
    11  - [Input Variables](/docs/language/values/variables.html) serve as parameters for
    12    a Terraform module, so users can customize behavior without editing the source.
    13  
    14  - [Output Values](/docs/language/values/outputs.html) are like return values for a
    15    Terraform module.
    16  
    17  - [Local Values](/docs/language/values/locals.html) are a convenience feature for
    18    assigning a short name to an expression.
