# `values` Function

`values` takes a map and returns a list containing the values of the elements
in that map.

The values are returned in lexicographical order by their corresponding _keys_,
so the values will be returned in the same order as their keys would be
returned from [`keys`](/docs/from-1.5/functions/collection/keys).

## Examples

```shell-session
> values({a=3, c=2, d=1})
[
  3,
  2,
  1,
]
```
