The type HashSet is not generic; it cannot be parameterized with arguments <String>

[newcoder1010]

Hello,

 

https://www.w3schools.com/java/showjava.asp?filename=demo_hashset_add

package Hash;
import java.util.HashSet;

public class HashSet {

	  public static void main(String[] args) {
		    HashSet<String> cars = new HashSet<String>();
		    cars.add("Volvo");
		    cars.add("BMW");
		    cars.add("Ford");
		    cars.add("BMW");
		    cars.add("Mazda");
		    System.out.println(cars);
		  }
		}

Error:

"The type HashSet is not generic; it cannot be parameterized with arguments <String>"

Please advise!

This is because its being taken as your class "HashSet", You've overidden the class "HashSet" with your program called "HashSet", you may want to change it.
