Hey Abhishek,

You can directly query your result in list like below :-  
trigger ContactTrigger_query on Contact (before insert, before update) {
    
    List<Contact> conList = new List<Contact>(); 
    
    conList = [Select name, Account.Name from contact Where id IN : Trigger.new];
    System.debug(cont[0].name +' '+ cont[0].Account.Name);
    
}

Once you get all the values in the list then you can run a for loop to print every value of the list like below :- 
trigger ContactTrigger_query on Contact (before insert, before update) {
    
    List<Contact> conList = new List<Contact>(); 
    
    conList = [Select name, Account.Name from contact Where id IN : Trigger.new];

   if(conList.size()>0){
      for(Contact c : conList){
          system.debug("Contact value "+ c);
      }
   }
    
}

Thanks

Thank you Priya, plz two questions on this, when i'm printing size as -
1) System.debug(aclist.size());    

it's giving 1 every time and not getting incremented.

2) when i'm writing this - 
   if(conList.size()>0){
      for(Contact c : conList){
          system.debug("Contact value "+ c);
      }
   }
 
User-added image
it's giving  account id instead of account name but we inserted account name in the list.

any suggestion !!

Hi Abhishek Sharma 527,
     For Your First Question, Only one Account can be associated with one contact record. So, that's why its shows Size as 1.
     For Your Second Question, First of all, you are not inserting anything in your code which means you are just collecting the contact records in a list of contacts.

trigger ContactTrigger_query on Contact (before insert, before update)
{
List<Contact> conList = new List<Contact>();
conList = [Select Name, Account.Name from contact Where id IN : Trigger.new];
if(conList.size()>0)
{
for(Contact c : conList)
{
system.debug("Contact value "+ c); // gives list of contacts
system.debug("Contact value "+ c.Name); // gives list contact names
system.debug("Contact value "+ c.Account.Name); // gives list Account names which is associated with contact.
}
}
}
