  • Q2. Why can't we create a master detail on contact as the child object
  • Ans. 

    Master-detail relationship on Contact as child object is not allowed due to data integrity concerns.

    • Contact is a standard object and cannot be a child object in a master-detail relationship

    • Master-detail relationships require the child object to have a lookup to the parent object

    • Contacts are often used as the primary object in many relationships, making it unsuitable as a child object

  • Answered by AI

  • Ans. 

    Child to parent communication in LWC allows a child component to communicate with its parent component.

    • Child components can dispatch custom events to communicate with parent components.

  • Q3. When does APEX CPU Limit Exceeded error happens. What's the best practice to avoid getting this error?
  • Ans. 

    APEX CPU Limit Exceeded error happens when code consumes too much CPU time. Best practices include optimizing code, reducing loops, and using asynchronous processing.

    • Avoid using nested loops and optimize code for better performance

    • Use asynchronous processing like @future or Queueable to offload CPU intensive tasks

    • Limit the use of SOQL queries inside loops to reduce CPU consumption

  • Q4. When does Mixed DML Exception occurs?
  • Ans. 

    Mixed DML Exception occurs when DML operations are performed on setup and non-setup objects in a single transaction.

    • Setup objects include User, Profile, PermissionSet, etc.

    • Non-setup objects include custom objects, standard objects like Account, Contact, etc.

  • Answered by AI
  • Q5. Debug the following code: var a=10; function abc() { console.log(a); var a=2; } abc();
  • Ans. 

    The code will output 'undefined' because variable 'a' is hoisted within the function.

    • Variable 'a' is hoisted to the top of the function scope, so when 'console.log(a)' is called, 'a' is undefined.

    • To fix this, move the declaration of 'var a=2;' above the 'console.log(a);' statement.

  • Answered by AI
  • Q6. Write a SOQL query to fetch the values of description field from the Account. Why does "the description field cannot be filtered in the query call"?
  • Ans. 

    SOQL query to fetch description field from Account and reason for inability to filter

    • SOQL query: SELECT Description FROM Account

    • Description field is not filterable because it is a long text field

    • Long text fields cannot be filtered in SOQL queries
