difference between list<account> a = new list<account>(); and account a = new account();

Good Morning all,


I'm new to Apex, I want to know the difference between the following two statements regarding sObjects -
1. List<Account> a = new list<Account>();
2.Account a = new Account();
please explain me the difference.

 

Thanks in advance,
Harsha Deepthi

Hi Harsha, 
list<account> a = new list<account>();
Which means you are creating a list of accounts and the name of the list is a. 
account a = new account();
The above one means you are creating one account to the account object.



Thank You
