Collection Data Type


In Apex

𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐢𝐬 collection data type


A collection data type is a way to group
multiple items together in programming. It
helps you manage and organize data more
easily. In Apex, there are three main types of
collections:
1. List
2. Set
3. Map
By Rajat .C. Modi

List
An ordered collection that can contain duplicates.
Use it when you need to maintain the order of
elements or allow duplicates.For example, storing a
list of contacts.

List<String> names = new List<String>();


names.add('Alice');
names.add('Bob');
By Rajat .C. Modi

Set
An unordered collection that does not allow
duplicates. Use it when you want to ensure
uniqueness of elements. For example, storing
unique IDs.

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


uniqueIds.add('001');
uniqueIds.add('002');
By Rajat .C. Modi

Map
A collection of key-value pairs, where each key is
unique. Use it when you need to associate unique
keys with specific values. For example, mapping
account IDs to account names.

Map<String, String> accountMap = new Map<String,


String>();
accountMap.put('001', 'Acme Corp');
accountMap.put('002', 'Globex Corp');
By Rajat .C. Modi

Summary

List: Ordered, allows duplicates.


Set: Unordered, no duplicates.
Map: Key-value pairs, unique keys.

Choose the appropriate type based on the


requirements of your application.
