What type of logic can Apex methods encapsulate?

Apex methods are capable of encapsulating complex logic, which allows developers to implement intricate business processes, calculations, and conditional workflows within the Salesforce platform. This capability extends beyond just simple operations or validations.

While Apex can certainly handle simple CRUD (Create, Read, Update, Delete) operations and perform basic validation checks, its true strength lies in processing more sophisticated logic that requires multiple steps, intricate calculations, and comprehensive decision-making processes. This includes actions such as executing multiple operations based on specific conditions, integrating with external systems, or manipulating data in ways that simple CRUD operations or basic checks cannot accomplish on their own.

Therefore, the ability of Apex to handle complex logic makes it a powerful tool for developers looking to create tailored solutions and workflows in Salesforce that go beyond mere data manipulations.
