Wants to know please,



1) Why using the Schema.SObjectType is better than using a SOQL?



2) If using the Schema.SObjectType inside a for loop is a bad Idea...
for example:



Id devRecordTypeId = Schema.SObjectType.Account.getRecordTypeInfosByName().get('Development').getRecordTypeId();


I checked and saw that this doesn't affect the SOQL governor Limit - So I guess this is ok to use it inside a for loop?






apex soql loop schema

  • Schema.SObjectType.Account.getRecordTypeInfosByName().get('Development').getRecordTypeId() why are you getting same recordTypeId in loop ? are you changing record type in loop?

  • @Manjot Singh, Yes, I need to create accounts with different RC base on some logic.. But it all happens in a Loop.

Calling Schema class again and again in loop is not a best practice. It doesn't consume soul limits but can cause




cpu time limit exceed exception




. So what I normally do is get schema describe result of any object outside loop and then inside loop get which ever value you want to get from that object.



Like for your case I will do 



Map<String, Schema.RecordTypeInfo> recordtypeMap = Schema.SObjectType.Account.getRecordTypeInfosByName();


and in loop use recordtypeMap.get('recordtype').getRecordTypeId();



In this way I am calling schema class only once and using it at multiple places.

    BTW getRecordTypeInfosByName is bad practice for looking up a RecordType because it will give different results for different user languages. Use the new getRecordTypeInfosByDeveloperName. Make sure the Apex class is set to at least version 43.

Ellipse (mathématiques)

Pour les articles homonymes, voir Ellipse. L'ellipse est le lieu des points dont la somme des distances à deux points fixes, dits foyers, est constante. Section du cône ou projection du cercle. En géométrie, une ellipse est une courbe plane fermée obtenue par l’intersection d’un cône de révolution avec un plan, à condition que celui-ci coupe l'axe de rotation du cône ou du cylindre : c'est une conique d'excentricité strictement comprise entre 0 et 1. On peut également la définir comme le lieu des points dont la somme des distances à deux points fixes, dits foyers, est constante (sa construction par la méthode du jardinier est très simple). Dans la vie courante, l’ellipse est la forme qu'on perçoit en regardant un cercle en perspective, ou la figure formée par l’ombre d'un disque sur une surface plane. On retrouve aussi, en première approximation [ 1 ] , des ellipses dans les trajectoires des corps célestes (planètes, comètes ou satellites arti...

Quarter-circle Tiles

up vote 0 down vote favorite I have $99$ identical square tiles, each with a quarter-circle drawn on it like this: [asy] size(1.5cm); draw(Arc((2,0),1,90,180),red+1); draw((0,0)--(2,0)--(2,2)--(0,2)--(0,0)); [/asy] When I arrange the tiles in a $9times 11$ rectangular grid, each with a random orientation, what is the expected value of the number of full circles I form?
