// => trueProduces a new sorted array, ranked in ascending order by the results of running each value of a collection through callback. The callback is invoked with 3 arguments; for arrays they are (value, index, array) and for objects they are (value, key, object). The callback argument may also be the name of a property to sort by (e.g. 'length').
array(Array): The array to iterate over.callback(Function|String): The function called per iteration or property name to sort by.[thisArg](Mixed): Thethisbinding for the callback.

// => 'no'
// using the `source` property
<script>
JST.project = <%= _.template(jstText).source %>;
</script>Creates a new function that, when executed, will only call the func function at most once per every wait milliseconds. If the throttled function is invoked more than once, func will also be called on the trailing edge of the wait timeout. Subsequent calls to the throttled function will return the result of the last func call.
func(Function): The function to throttle.wait(Number): The number of milliseconds to throttle executions to.
(Function): Returns the new throttled function.
var throttled = _.throttle(updatePosition, 100);
jQuery(window).on('scroll', throttled);Executes the callback function n times. The callback is invoked with 1 argument; (index).
n(Number): The number of times to execute the callback.callback(Function): The function called per iteration.[thisArg](Mixed): Thethisbinding for the callback.
_.times(3, function() { genie.grantWish(); });Converts the collection, into an array. Useful for converting the arguments object.
collection(Array|Object): The collection to convert.
(Array): Returns the new converted array.
(function() { return _.toArray(arguments).slice(1); })(1, 2, 3, 4);
// => [2, 3, 4]Computes the union of the passed-in arrays.
[array1, array2, ...](Array): Arrays to process.
(Array): Returns a new array of unique values, in order, that are present in one or more of the arrays.
_.union([1, 2, 3], [101, 2, 1, 10], [2, 1]);
// => [1, 2, 3, 101, 10]Produces a duplicate-value-free version of the array using strict equality for comparisons, i.e. ===. If the array is already sorted, passing true for isSorted will run a faster algorithm. If callback is passed, each value of array is passed through a transformation callback before uniqueness is computed. The callback is invoked with 3 arguments; (value, index, array).
array(Array): The array to process.[isSorted=false](Boolean): A flag to indicate that thearrayis already sorted.[callback](Function): A
(Array): Returns a duplicate-value-free array.
_.uniq([1, 2, 1, 3, 1, 4]);
// => [1, 2, 3, 4]Generates a unique id. If prefix is passed, the id will be appended to it.
[prefix](String): The value to prefix the id with.
(Number, String): Returns a numeric id if no prefix is passed, else a string id may be returned.
_.uniqueId('contact_');
// => 'contact_104'Produces an array of enumerable own property values of the collection.
collection(Array|Object): The collection to inspect.
(Array): Returns a new array of property values.

hello = _.wrap(hello, function(func) {
return 'before, ' + func('moe') + ', after';
});
hello();
// => 'before, hello: moe, after'Merges together the values of each of the arrays with the value at the corresponding position. Useful for separate data sources that are coordinated through matching array indexes. For a matrix of nested arrays, _.zip.apply(...) can transpose the matrix in a similar fashion.
[array1, array2, ...](Array): Arrays to process.
(Array): Returns a new array of merged arrays.
_.zip(['moe', 'larry', 'curly'], [30, 40, 50], [true, false, false]);

(RegExp): Used to detect data property values to be HTML-escaped.
(RegExp): Used to detect code to be evaluated.
(RegExp): Used to detect data property values to inject.
(String): Used to reference the data object in the template text.
