2)What is Wrapper class?
A Wrapper class is a class whose instances are collection of other objects.
It is used to display different objects on a Visual Force page in same table.
3)What are Annotations..?
Annotations are used to give additional information to compiler at the runtime.
An Apex annotation modifies the way that a method or class is used, similar to annotations in Java.

Annotations are defined with an initial @ symbol, followed by the appropriate keyword. To add an
annotation to a method, specify it immediately before the method or class definition.
Eg:
@future
@isTest
@TestVisible
5)What is @future annotation?
@Future:
Use the future annotation to identify methods that are executed asynchronously. When you specify
future, the method executes when Salesforce has available resources.
For example, you can use the future annotation when making an asynchronous Web service callout
to an external service. Without the annotation, the Web service callout is made from the same thread
that is executing the Apex code, and no additional processing can occur until the callout is complete
(synchronous processing).
Methods with the future annotation must be static methods, and can only return a void type.
6)How many ways we can share a record?
Role Hierarchy:
If we add a user to a role, the user is above in the role hierarchy will have read access.
Setup -> manage users -> roles -> setup roles -> click on add role -> provide name and save.
OWD:
Defines the base line setting for the organization.
Defines the level of access to the user can see the other users record
OWD can be Private, Public Read Only, Public Read and Write.
Setup -> Security Controls -> sharing settings -> Click on Edit
Manual Sharing:
Manual Sharing is sharing a single record to single user or group of users.
We can see this button detail page of the record and this is visible only when OWD setting is private.
Criteria Based Sharing rules:
If we want to share records based on condition like share records to group of users
Whose criteria are country is India.
Setup -> security controls -> sharing settings -> select the object and provide name and
Conditions and save
Apex sharing:
Share object is available for every object(For Account object share object is AccountShare ). If we
want to share the records using apex we have to create a record to the share object.
