# Built-in Functions
The HCL language includes a number of built-in functions that you can
call from within expressions to transform and combine values. The general
syntax for function calls is a function name followed by comma-separated
arguments in parentheses:
```hcl
max(5, 12, 9)
```
For more details on syntax, see
[_Function Calls_](./expressions.html#function-calls)
on the Expressions page.
The HCL language does not support user-defined functions, and so only
the functions built in to the language are available for use. The navigation
for this section includes a list of all of the available built-in functions.
