Abstract
A self-describing function object may be dynamically created based on a set of user provided parameters. In an implementation, a device may receive a request to create the function object based on one or more parameters and determine a number of ordered and hierarchical operations that correspond to the function object. The device may determine textual descriptions corresponding to what is performed by at least one of the ordered and hierarchical operations. The device may output documentation of the ordered and hierarchical operations included in the function object, the documentation including the textual descriptions arranged based on the determined order of the plurality of ordered and hierarchical operations.
