      Hello Saloni,

      List<Account> acc=[select Name , (Select LastName from contacts) from Account Limit 10];
      for(Account acct:acc){
      system.debug('####'+acct.contacts.size());
      }

      {
      li.add(c.AccountId);
      }

      list con=[select name,(select id from contacts) from account where id in:li];
      for(account acc:con)
      {
      list c=acc.contacts;
      system.debug('account:'+acc.name+'Count_of_contact'+c.size());
      acc.count_of_contacts__c=c.size();
      update acc;

      Hi Saloni,

      The code for your answer is : -

      public class RelatedList
      {
      public static void ListContact()
      {
      List accList = [SELECT Name, (SELECT LastName FROM Contacts ) FROM Account];
      for(Account acc : accList)
      {
      System.debug('+++'+ acc.contacts.size());
      }
      }
      }

      Hi Saloni,

      There is one more way to count number of contacts in account using SOQL query :-

      List contact = [Select Count(Id),Account.Name from Contact where Account.Id != null GROUP BY Account.Name];

      Hi,

      simple query :-
      SELECT count(Id) FROM Contact Where AccountID='00141000015cS58'
      ---Soql query to count total contact related to an account -----

      List<AggregateResult> results=[SELECT count(Id) FROM Contact Where AccountID='00141000015cS58']; //count() return AggregateResult type value
      integer total_contact = Integer.valueOf(results[0].get('expr0') + '');
      //integer total_contact=(Integer) results[0].get('expr0');
      system.debug('total contact of Internal Queries : '+total_contact);

      And trigger  to show count on a custom field:

      trigger FindContactsCount on Contact (after insert, after update, after delete) {

      List<Contact> modContacts = Trigger.isDelete ? Trigger.old:Trigger.new;
      Set<Id> accIds = new Set<Id>();
      for (Contact c: modContacts) {
      accIds.add(c.AccountId);
      }
      List<Account> modAccounts = [Select Name, (Select Id from Contacts) from Account WHERE Id in: accIds ];

      for (Account a: modAccounts) {
      List<Contact> s = a.Contacts;
      System.debug('Account:' + a.Name + ' No. of Contacts: '+ s.size());
      a.No_of_Contacts__c = s.size();
      }
      }

      Hope this code will help you and others 🙂
