Contact.PostalCode

Regarding using SOQL to assign and retrieve attributes, I need identify the Postal Code of the Contact and I do not know how to name it?

Imagine I am having the following code:

Contact[] cts = [SELECT Contact.LastName, Contact.Postal_Code FROM Contact WHERE LastName =: sName OR PostalCode =: sPostalCode]; 
  
        System.debug('Last Name forund + cts[0].LastName);
        System.debug('PostalCode found' + cts[0].PostalCode);

The problem is that Contact.PostalCode can't be found and I do not know how to name it. 

Anyone can help me?

Thanks!

Bea

Hello Bea,
The field name for the PostalCode is MailingPostalCode

So your SOQL will be 
Contact[] cts = [SELECT LastName, MailingPostalCode FROM Contact WHERE LastName =: sName OR MailingPostalCode =: sPostalCode]; 
  
        System.debug('Last Name forund + cts[0].LastName);
        System.debug('PostalCode found' + cts[0].MailingPostalCode);
All the address fields on Contact start as Mailing, so its MailingStreet, MailingCity, MailingState, MailingCountry, MailingPostalCode

Thank you

I think this pdf is what you are looking for :)

Thanks Carlos, that was really helpful.
Is there some place on Developer or something where I can check the current Object Fields and their Column level mappings?
