This Apex class is part of a simple scenario in which Apex is used to update a custom account field named Hello with the text "World" every time a new account is created.
To use this code in your own organization, you'll first need to define a custom text field named Hello on the Account object.
public class MyHelloWorld {
// This method updates the Hello field on a list
// of accounts
public static void addHelloWorld(Account[] accs){
for (Account a:accs){
if (a.Hello__c != 'World')
a.Hello__c = 'World';
}
}
}
