Line: 1, Column: 24 Unexpected token '('.

HI, 
I am trying to call my method in the anonymous window but it is showing me (Line: 1, Column: 24 Unexpected token '('.) this error. The class is static so it is not necessary to make an object or instance of that class..
AccountContact.onBefore(Account Name='asdf');
This is my code i am inserting an account with the account name

Hi Mohd Nabeel,

You are calling the method with incorrect parameter.
Use this code this will help you to call the method from anonymous window. 
List<Account> accList = new List<Account>();
accList.add(new Account(Name = 'Mohd Nabeel'));
insert accList;
AccountContact.onBefore(accList);

If you found it useful please appreciate my efforts and mark it as the best answer

Regards,
Soyab

        List<Contact> conList = new List<Contact>();
        for(Account acc: acctList){
            Contact con = new Contact(AccountId = acc.ID);
            List<String> nameStr = acc.Name.split(' ');
            if(nameStr.size()>0)
                con.LastName = nameStr[0];
            if(nameStr.size()>1)
                con.FirstName = nameStr[1];
            con.FirstName = 'Info';
            con.LastName = 'Default';
            con.Email = 'info@websitedomain.tld';
            acc.OnlyDefaultContact__c = TRUE;
            conList.add(con);
        }

Make sure that this field is actually visible to your user via Field Level Security.
  1. Click the field name in your Setup UI to view the field definition detail.
  2. On this detail view, there will be a Set Field-Level Security button.
  3. Make sure Visible is selected for your Profile.
