What is a collection?

A group of elements or similar types of elements is called collection.

There are three types of Salesforce Collection:-

  1. Map
  2. Set
  3. List
Map: Map is key-value pairs.

Syntax: 
Map<Key,Value> nameOfMap = new Map<Key,Value>();

Key → is a set. 

Value or Values → is a list. 

Methods in Map:
  • put()      → add a key-value pairs.
  • get()      → retrieve a value for a key.
  • keySet() → retrieve all the keys and return type is set.
  • values() → retrieve all the values and return type is list.
  • size()     → return the number of components in the map.

Set: Set is an ordered collection of elements which will not allow duplicate.

Syntax:
Set<Type> NameOfSet = new Set<Type>();

Type → String or Integer or any data type.

Methods in Set:
  • add() → to add.
  • get() → to get value by index.

List: List is an unordered collection of elements which will allow duplicate.

Syntax:
List<Type> NameOfList = new List<Type>();

Type → String or Integer or any data type.


Methods in List:
  • add()      → add the values to the list.
  • get()      → retrieve a value from a list using the index.
  • set()      → replaces a former value with the value at given index.
  • clear()   → Remove the elements from the list.
  • size()     → return the number of elements in the list.

How to Build REST API Using PHP

Create REST API in PHP API stands for Application Programming Interface and the idea behind API is to connect different applications irrespective of their platforms to share information. Generally, API takes requests from different applications, processes it and gives back the response. What is REST API? REST stands for Representational State Transfer and it means that the request and the response should contain a representation of the information i.e., should be in a certain format. So basically, the requests must use proper HTTP methods and the response must be in a proper format like JSON or XML instead of plain text. REST API is nothing but a normal API with a set of principles. We need to follow a set of rules while creating and consuming REST API. The rules include the following : 1. Use appropriate HTTP methods while performing API calls. The following are the four primary HTTP methods which should be used to send and receive API requests.     ...

What is the difference between the add and offer methods in a Queue in Java?

-
If a collection refuses to add a particular element for any reason other than that it already contains the element, it  must throw  an exception (rather than returning false). This preserves the invariant that a collection always contains the specified element after this call returns. offer  method - tries to add an element to a queue, and returns  false  if the element can't be added (like in case when a queue is full), or  true  if the element was added, and doesn't throw any specific exception. add  method - tries to add an element to a queue, returns  true  if the element was added, or throws an IllegalStateException if no space is currently available. There is no difference for the implementation of  PriorityQueue.add : public boolean add ( E e ) { return offer ( e ); } For  AbstractQueue  there actually is a difference: public boolean add ( E e ) { if ( offer ( e )) ret...

AVL Tree Rotations

Rotations When the tree structure changes, we need to modify the tree to restore the AVL tree property. This can be done using single or double rotations. Types of Violations Let us assume the node that must be rebalanced in X. Violations might occur in four cases: Insertion into the left subtree of the left child of X. Insertion into the right subtree of the right child of X.  Insertion into the right subtree of the left child of X. Insertion into the left subtree of the right child of X. Single Rotation Left Left Rotation (LL Rotation) [Case 1]: Rotation does not have to be done at the root of a tree. In general, we start at the node inserted and travel up the tree, updating the balance information at every node on the path. public AVLTree rotateLeft (AVLTree x) {        AVLTree  y = x.right;        // Perform rotation            y.left = x;    ...
