Object-Oriented Features

Apex supports object-oriented programming with classes and inheritance. In 4D, while you can create objects, the syntax and structure differ significantly.

Apex Example:

public class MyClass {
    public void myMethod() {
        // Method implementation
    }
}

4D Example:

C_OBJECT($myClass)
$myClass := New object

Official Apex Documentation on Classes

Exception Handling

Apex has a structured way to handle exceptions using try-catch blocks. 4D uses a different approach with the CATCH block.

Apex Example:

try {
    // Code that may throw an exception
} catch (Exception e) {
    // Handle exception
}

4D Example:

BEGIN
    // Code that may throw an exception
CATCH
    // Handle exception
END

Official Apex Documentation on Exception Handling

Collections and Iteration

Apex provides built-in collection types like Lists and Maps, while 4D uses arrays.

Apex Example:

List<String> myList = new List<String>();
myList.add('Item 1');

4D Example:

ARRAY TEXT($myList; 0)
$myList{1} := "Item 1"

Official Apex Documentation on Collections

Asynchronous Processing

Apex allows asynchronous processing with the @future annotation, while 4D uses the PROCESS command.

Apex Example:

@future public static void myMethod() {
    // Asynchronous code
}

4D Example:

PROCESS(myMethod)

Official Apex Documentation on Asynchronous Apex

SOQL Queries

Apex uses SOQL for database queries, while 4D uses SQL-like syntax.

Apex Example:

List<Account> accounts = [SELECT Id FROM Account];

4D Example:

SELECT * FROM Account

[Official Apex Documentation on SOQL](https://developer.salesforce.com/docs/atlas.en SOQL_SOSLReference.meta/SOQL_SOSLReference/sforce_api_calls_soql.htm)

Access Modifiers

Apex has specific access modifiers for methods and classes, while 4D uses a different syntax.

Apex Example:

private void myMethod() {
    // Method implementation
}

4D Example:

METHOD($myMethod; Public)

Official Apex Documentation on Access Modifiers

Static vs Instance Methods

Both languages support static and instance methods, but the syntax differs.

Apex Example:

public static void myStaticMethod() {
    // Static method implementation
}

4D Example:

METHOD($myStaticMethod; Public)

Official Apex Documentation on Static Methods

Annotations

Apex uses annotations for various purposes, which have no direct equivalent in 4D.

Apex Example:

@AuraEnabled public static void myMethod() {
    // Method implementation
}

4D Example:

// No direct equivalent

Official Apex Documentation on Annotations

Interfaces and Abstract Classes

Apex supports interfaces and abstract classes, while 4D has a different object model.

Apex Example:

public interface IMyInterface {
    void myMethod();
}

4D Example:

C_OBJECT($myInterface)

Official Apex Documentation on Interfaces

Lambda Expressions

Apex supports lambda expressions for functional programming, while 4D has a different iteration syntax.

Apex Example:

myList.forEach(item -> {
    // Process item
});

4D Example:

For each ($item; $myList)
    // Process item
End for each
