Defining Linked list in Java [duplicate]

Question

private List<Manufacturer> productManufacturer = new LinkedList<Manufacturer>();

I am not able to understand why <> this symbol is here and Manufacturer inside it to define a LinkedList in Java.

Does this answer your question? Java Generics (Wildcards)

Please read about generics

  private List<Manufacturer> productManufacturer = new LinkedList<>();

Assuming Manufacturer is a java class/interface/enum type, the above line defines a List that can hold only objects of type Manufacturer or its subclass types
