, 10. Standard List Controller
Answer: The standard list controller allows you to create Visualforce pages that can display
or act on a set of records. Adding the standard list controller to a page is very similar to
adding the standard (record) controller, but with the intent of working with many records at
once, instead of one record at a time. The standard (record) controller makes it easy to get a
single record loaded into a variable you can use on a Visualforce page. The standard list
controller is similar, except instead of a single record, it loads a list, or collection, of records
into the variable.

interface. There are two types of triggers. .Before triggers are used to update or validate
record values before they're saved to the database. .After triggers are used to access field
values that are set by the system (such as a record's Id or LastModifiedDate field), and to
effect changes in other records. The records that fire the after trigger are read-only.
