When we want to save multiple data of “the same type” and also connect with each other with some “common business rule”, then instead of creating multiple variables, we need to create one variable of type collection.
The same type = all the data are integers or all are strings.
Common business rule = For engagement of all employees or the salary of all employees.
“Collections are same like an array” - We have 3 types of collections in Salesforce, and they are:
In This Blog, You Will Learn |
The map plays a major role in the collection. We have 2-dimensional data types included in it. Based on the below features, they are widely used in real-time projects.
Syntax:
Map My Map = New Map();
Scenario: Add mobile brands with price lists and process them with step-by-step execution with collection functions. The below mentioned are 6 individual programs for adding mobile brand with price list via List.
Scenario: iphone x = 70000, nokia = 60000, samsung = 50000 and Motorola = 40000
// declare a list variable
Map<string, integer=""> MyMobilePrice = New Map<string, integer="">();
//add items
MyMobilePrice.put('iphone x', 70000 );
MyMobilePrice.put('nokia', 60000 );
MyMobilePrice.put('samsung', 50000 );
MyMobilePrice.put('motorola', 40000 );
//print the values
system.debug('My Mobile prices List = ' + MyMobilePrice );</string,></string,>

Note: Based on the KEY value passed during the syntax declaration, the output varies. We can prove that the below sample program is a reverse scenario for the above program.
// declare a list variable

//add items
MyMobilePrice.put(70000, 'iphone x');
MyMobilePrice.put(60000,'nokia');
