Sequence number of child records during insert or update operation

Hi Everyone,
Plz tell me how to add child records in sequence.Here is the code.Suppose in 3 contact associated with account (Ex Contact name Contact0,Contact1,Contact2).On Account field Number of Location field value is 3.if i change to 6 then (Contact0, Contact1,Contact3 ) inserting again.I need to add Contact4,Contact5,Contact 6 while Updating.

Here is the code:-

trigger ContactCreation on Account (after insert,after update) {
    List<Contact> conList = new List<Contact>();
    Map<Id,decimal> mapAcc = new Map<Id,decimal>();
    
    for(Account a : trigger.new){
        mapAcc.Put(a.Id,a.NumberofLocations__c);
    }
    if(mapAcc.size() > 0 && mapAcc != null){
        for(Account acc : trigger.new){
            
            for(Integer i=0;i<mapAcc.get(acc.id);i++){
                Contact con = new Contact();
                con.AccountId = acc.Id;
                con.LastName = 'Contact'+i;
                conList.add(con);
            }   
        }
    }
    
    if(conList.size() > 0 && conList != null){
        insert conList;
    }   
    List<Contact> listcon = new List<Contact>([Select Id,Name From Contact]);
    for(Contact c : listCon){
        
    }
}

Thanks in Advance !!

Hi Sam,

Please find the code below. To achieve your solution we have to take one additional field on contact "auto_creation_no__c" of type number(18,0). Below logic will work for creating contacts as well as deletion of contacts. If you update Account.NumberofLocations__c field's value from 17 to 15 below code will delete contact15 and contact16.
trigger AccountTrigger on Account (before insert, after insert, before update) {
    if(trigger.isInsert){
        if(Trigger.isAfter){
            List<contact> lstCon = new List<contact>();
            for(Account acc : Trigger.new){
                if(acc.NumberofLocations__c != null && acc.NumberofLocations__c >0){
                    for(integer i=0;i<acc.NumberofLocations__c;i++){
                        lstCon.add(new contact(auto_creation_no__c = i, AccountId = acc.id, firstName ='Auto', LastName='Contact'+String.valueOf(i)));
                    }
                }
            }
            if(!lstCon.isEmpty()){
                insert lstCon;
            }
        }
    }else{
             List<contact> newContactList = new List<contact>();
             List<contact> deleteContactList = new List<contact>();
             Map<Id,Integer> accountIdNoOfContactsMap = new Map<Id,Integer>();
            for(Account acc : Trigger.new){
                if(Trigger.oldmap.get(acc.id).NumberofLocations__c != acc.NumberofLocations__c){
                    // Add new contacts to the account.
                    if(Trigger.oldmap.get(acc.id).NumberofLocations__c<acc.NumberofLocations__c){
                    	for(integer i= Integer.valueOf(Trigger.oldmap.get(acc.id).NumberofLocations__c); i< acc.NumberofLocations__c; i++){
                    		newContactList.add(new contact(auto_creation_no__c = i, AccountId = acc.id, firstName ='Auto', LastName='Contact'+String.valueOf(i)));
                    	}
                    }
                    //Delete contacts from account.
	                else  if(Trigger.oldmap.get(acc.id).NumberofLocations__c>acc.NumberofLocations__c){
	                	accountIdNoOfContactsMap.put(acc.id,Integer.valueOf((acc.NumberofLocations__c-1)));
	                }
                }
                
            }
            if(!newContactList.isEmpty()){
                insert newContactList;
            }
            if(!accountIdNoOfContactsMap.isEmpty()){
            	for(Account acc : [select id,(select id,auto_creation_no__c from contacts order by auto_creation_no__c desc) from Account where Id IN:accountIdNoOfContactsMap.keySet()]){
            	  for(Contact con : acc.contacts){
            	  	 if(con.auto_creation_no__c>accountIdNoOfContactsMap.get(acc.id)){
            	  	 	deleteContactList.add(con);
            	  	 }
            	  	 else{
            	  	 	break;
            	  	 }
            	  }
            	}
            }
             if(!deleteContactList.isEmpty()){
                delete deleteContactList;
            }
    }
}

Hi Sam,

You need to check whether the Id is present in Map using ContainsKey. The code goes like below.
for(Account acc : trigger.new){
        if(!mapAcc.containsKey(acc.Id)) {
            for(Integer i=0;i<mapAcc.get(acc.id);i++){
                Contact con = new Contact();
                con.AccountId = acc.Id;
                con.LastName = 'Contact'+i;
                conList.add(con);
            }    
        } 
    }
