Exercise instructions

  • Import all the types from the Java Collections Framework package.
  • Create a variable called list that will hold an ArrayList of strings, using generics to specify String on ArrayList.
  • Set list to a new instance of ArrayList using the parameterized constructor ArrayList<String>.

		____<____> list;
        // Set the variable to new ArrayList
        list = ____ ____<____>();
		list.add("hello");
