The success method of JQuery is malfunctioning.

I am currently working on a JavaScript paper, and I have a question. If URL, method, and data are arguments passed to the method, what are success and error? Are they also arguments or do they go by a different name? To clarify, in the following code snippet, what is the proper terminology for success and error? 

$.ajax({
    url: "url",
    method: "get",
    data: {
        "someData": someData
    },
    success: function (data) {
        alert(data);
    },
    error: function (errorThrown) {
        alert(errorThrown);
    }
});

In this specific example, success and error are not technically arguments that the $.ajax() method receives, but they are properties that can be passed as part of an object that is used as an argument for the method. In this case, success and error are known as callback functions. success is a function that will be called if the AJAX request is successful and error is a function that will be called if there is an error with the request. These callback functions allow you to handle the response from the server in a more flexible manner. So, to answer your question, success and error are not arguments that the $.ajax() method receives, but they are properties that can be passed as part of an object that is used as an argument for the method. They are callback functions that can be used to handle the response from the server.
