We can do the below code with LIST as well but that would give us an error whenever we are INSERTing more than 1 Contact and so we used MAP.

Whenever a contact is inserted, if that contact is associated with an account, then update that account name from this  newly inserting contact name. It has to be bulkified.  If the contact name is "John", then the associated account's name should also be "John:

public Contact trigger updateAccount (AFTER INSERT){

Map<Id, Account> accountList = New Map<Id, Account> ();


for(Contact con: Trigger.New){

   if(con.AccountId){

    Account acc = New Account();
    acc.Name = con.LastName;
    acc.Id = con.AccountId;
    accountList.put(acc.Id, acc);

   }
}
UPDATE accountList.values();
}

I would like to know why we would get an error if we use LIST in production and that we have to use either MAP or SET.

Hi,

Can you also share the code with List so experts can help you why the issue is with the List and why not with the map.

Thanks

Sai Praveen, 

All we have to do is replace map with list and add map methods. 


public Contact trigger updateAccount (AFTER INSERT){

List< Account> accountList = New List<Account> ();


for(Contact con: Trigger.New){

   if(con.AccountId){

    Account acc = New Account();
    acc.Name = con.LastName;
    acc.Id = con.AccountId;
    accountList.add(acc);

   }
}
UPDATE accountList ;
}
