Explanation
Salesforce best practice is to always attempt a declarative (point-and-click) solution before resorting to a programmatic (code-based) one. Declarative tools-such as Flow Builder, validation rules, and approval processes-require no coding, are faster to build and deploy, are easier to maintain, and can be managed by admins without developer resources. Programmatic solutions like Apex code offer more flexibility but are more complex, harder to maintain, and require specialized developer skills. The Salesforce Associate exam strongly emphasizes the 'declarative first' principle.
