// Homework from Week 4 of the Salesforce Developer Curriculum
// bit.ly/go-apex
// Write a trigger that creates two identical Contacts whenever an Account is created. 
// Make sure both Contacts are associated with the Account. 
// Use any values for the fields on the Contacts - just make sure to use variables when 
// populating the fields of each Contact to make sure they are identical.

    // create a List to contain the Contacts that are being created
    List<Contact> newContacts = new List<Contact>();
    
    for (Account acc: Trigger.new) {
        
        // To create 2 contacts that are identical,
        // first assign variables to all the elements so they can be re-used
        String myFirstName = 'SFDCLiz';
        String myLastName = 'SFDCKao';
        String myAccId = acc.Id;
        
        // Create your contacts and assign values to certain fields
        Contact firstContact = new Contact();
        firstContact.FirstName = myFirstName;
        firstContact.LastName = myLastName;
        firstContact.AccountId = myAccId;
        
        Contact secondContact = new Contact();
        secondContact.FirstName = myFirstName;
        secondContact.LastName = myLastName;
        secondContact.AccountId = myAccId;
        
        // Add these contacts to a List
        newContacts.add(firstContact);
        newContacts.add(secondContact);
   		  
    }
    // Use the DML statement outside the FOR loop, for bulkification purposes
    insert newContacts;
