COLLECTIONS

Arrays in Salesforce world

Data type
holding more than one data
is called
Collection
LIST
Ordered Collection, Can contain Duplicate

List is a collection that can store elements


of any data type.
List has indexes
List can contains duplicate
List will automatically not change the
sequence of the data while handling
LIST
Example

List also requires initialisation using New keyword

examples:
List<String> myListString = New List<String> {'text1', 'text2', 'text3'};
List<Integer> myListInteger = New List<Integer> {1, 5, 7, 200, 21};
List<Account> accountList = new List<Account>();
SET
UnOrdered Collection, Cannot contain Duplicate

Set is an Unordered collection that can


store elements of any data type.
Set cannot hold duplicate
Set automatically rearranges the data in
increasing order
SET
UnOrdered Collection, Cannot contain Duplicate

Case Sensitive : Data inside the Set is case sensitive


so 'Banana' & 'banana' will be considered unique
No Indexing : it does not have index, means we
cannot access element by index
Because it auto index - we cannot add element at
specific index
In realtime Set is mostly useful for declaring IDs
SET
Example

Set also requires initialisation using New keyword

example:
Set<String> mySetString = New Set<String> {'Banana', 'Apple', 'Mango'};

System.debug(mySetString); //output : 'Apple', Banana', 'Mango';


MAP
Key Value Pair

Map is a key value pair where each unique


key map to a single value
Always declared as pair, never as single
Key has to be unique
Value can be duplicate
MAP
Key Value Pair

Map also requires initialisation using New Keyword

Syntax :
Map<IndexDataType, ValueDataType> mapName = New
Map<IndexDataType, ValueDataType> {1=>'element1', 2=>'element2'',
3=>'elem 3''};

Example 1: (IndexDataType = Integer and Value = String )


Map<Integer, String> mapFruits = New Map<Integer, String> {1=>'Apple',
2=>'Banana', 3=>'Mango'};
