getID() Not Recognized

I am coding a script that lets Google Sheets track the progress of an author's novel being written in Google Drive.

I am trying to calculate the word count of a given document and push it into an array in the code below:

// Gets each chapter's word count and pushes it into the numberTitleCount array.

for(c in files){
  var counter = 0;
  var ID = files[c].getID();
  var doc = DocsList.getFileById(ID);

  var text = doc.getText();
  var textArray = text.split(" ");
  counter = textArray.length;
  numberTitleCount[c].push(counter);
}

The issue is, when I run the script, an error occurs. This is the error:

TypeError: Cannot find function getID in object File. (line 20, file "commentCount")

I'm not sure what the error is. files is an array of files so calling files[c].getID() should get the indicated file's ID, but no such luck. I know the array is fine as before I tried adding the word count functionality, I used the same array to get chapter numbers and titles successfully.

Any input into this issue would be greatly appreciated!

If you use the autocomplete feature of the script editor, you would be able to catch this issue more easily. (Ctrl + Space).

The issue is that the function is called getId(), not getID(). Documentation.
