Coding basics
Primitive data types (Integer,
Boolean, String, etc.)

sObjects (sObject, or Account,

contact, object__c.)

Collection (list, set, map)

An object created from the user or
system-defined classes.
 Variables coding basics

A primitive, such as an Integer, Double, Long, Date,

Datetime, String, ID, Boolean, among others.

An sObject, either as a generic sObject or as a specific

sObject, such as an Account, Contact, or
MyCustomObject__c (youll learn more about sObjects
in a later unit.)

A collection, including:
A list (or array) of primitives, sObjects, user defined
objects, objects created fromApexclasses, or
collections
A set of primitives

 ApexCollections: List,
Set and Map

List<String> colors =newList<String>();

Set<String> Colors = new Set< String>();

Map<String, id> colors = new

Map<String, id>();

 ApexCollections: List,
Set and Map
List is a ordered collection of values. It contains duplicate values. Each value is retrieved using the List Index
List<String> temp = new List<String>();
temp.add('Newyork');
temp.add('Miami');
temp.add('Boston');

Set:
Set is an unordered collection of values. It does not contains duplicate values
 Debugging Techniques

E.g. a list of String

List<String> lstNames = new List<String>();
lstNames.add('King'); // add is the way to add data to list
lstNames.add('Kong');

// you can retrive list entries as following

System.debug(lstNames[0]); // return King
System.debug(lstNames.get(1)); // return Kong
