### Local Named Values
Within the bodies of certain expressions, or in some other specific contexts,
there are other named values available beyond the global values listed above.
(For example, the body of a resource block where `count` is set can use a
special `count.index` value.) These local names are described in the
documentation for the specific contexts where they appear.
-> **Note:** Local named values are often referred to as _variables_ or
_temporary variables_ in their documentation. These are not [input
variables](./variables.html); they are just arbitrary names
that temporarily represent a value.
### Values Not Yet Known

This is different from resources without `count` or `for_each`, which can be
referenced without an index or key.
