Iterate over a Map using a for loop

Does salesforce Apex support iterating over a map using a for loop?

You can also use the values method:

 

Map<ID,Target__c> mapTargets = new Map<ID,Target__c>([
	Select Id, Name From Target__c Where Account__c in:TargetAccountIDs]);

for(Target__c target : mapTargets.values()) {
	System.debug('*************** Current Target: ' + target.Name);
}
 
(The returned list is also in arbitrary order)

I don't think you can iterate through the contents of a Map directly. You can put the Map contents into a Set or List and then do your loop.
 
        Schema.DescribeSObjectResult objSchema = Account.sObjectType.getDescribe();
        Map<String, Schema.SObjectField> fieldMap = objSchema.fields.getMap();
        for (String fieldName : fieldMap.keySet()){
            System.debug('field name is ' + fieldName);
        }
 
Hope that helps.

Thanks. I'll use that method.
 
Appreciate the response.

You could also use  the "keySet()" method to iterate over keys in the map and fetch the value.
Ma<String,Account> mapAccounts = new Map<String,Account>();for(String key:mapAccounts.keySet()){  System.debug(mapAccounts.get(key));}
 THis does not gurantee the order in which the keys would be returned.

mapName.values() is what works.
 
thanks for the help.

Just want to add,  here's what iterating over a key set looks like:

list<account> myAccounts = new list<account>();
myAccounts = [Select ID, Name from Account limit 10];

map<id, string=""> myAMap = new map<id, string="">();
for ( Account a : myAccounts ){
    myAMap.put(a.ID, a.Name);
}

for ( ID aID : myAMap.keySet() ){
    system.debug(loggingLevel.debug, myAMap.get(aID));
}

Map<Id,Account> acctsWithOpps = new Map<Id,Account>([SELECT Id,(SELECT Id FROM Opportunities) FROM Account]);
System.debug(acctsWithOpps);

for (Account account : acctsWithOpps.values())
{
    if(account.Opportunities.size()>0)
    {
        List<Opportunity> childOpportunities = account.Opportunities;
        System.debug(childOpportunities);
    }
}

Hi Dhanik,

In your same code, what if I want to check a field value from opportunity records.
Let say, I need to check status of each opportunity stored in lit childOpportunities. How we can do that without nested for loop.

I think this might helps you.

Map<Id,Contact> result=new Map<Id,Contact>([select Name from Contact limit 10]);
System.debug(result);
    for(Contact c:result.values()){
    System.debug(c);
}

The general case is:

Map<Id, myObjectType> mapName = new Map <Id, myObjectType>();
for (Id key: mapName.keyset()){
    myObjectType theObject = mapname.get(key);
    //do something with theObject
}//next key

We can use get method like as follows



Map<String,Integer> mapper=new Map<String,Integer>();
mapper.get(key);

You Can use this way:
Map<Id,Account> accMap = new Map<Id,Account>([Select Id,Name From Account Limit 10]);
        for(Account acc : accMap.values())
        {
            System.debug('Account Id :'+acc.Id+' '+'Account Name : '+acc.Name);
        }
