Hello, Apex

Your first DML

Apex is Salesforce's server-side language. It looks a lot like Java, but it runs inside your org, right next to your data.

Records are just objects. You create one with new, then save it with a DML statement:

Contact c = new Contact(LastName = 'Nguyen');
insert c;
System.debug(c.Id); // the Id is filled in after insert

A few things to notice:

• Statements end with ; and strings use single quotes
• You can set fields in the constructor: new Contact(LastName = 'Nguyen', Email = 'n@example.com')
• System.debug(...) prints to the debug log, which shows up in the console under the editor

Your mission

1. Create an Account named Quill the Raccoon
2. insert it
3. System.debug its Id

Use Run to try it, then Submit when you're happy.

🦝 Relax, everything you run here is rolled back afterwards, so your org stays clean.
