When I create array of LinkedList (of Integers) like this,

new LinkedList<Integer>[V];

it gives me error saying "Generic Array creation"

but when I create array like this

new LinkedList[V];

it works fine.

What is this error and what's going wrong here ?

What's the problem? Creating an array of a generic type is not allowed. – ernest_k Nov 13 '18 at 17:02

Generic creation of array is not allowed in JAVA. See this post [https://stackoverflow.com/questions/7131652/generic-array-creation-error/23034391] – Subhasish Bhattacharjee Nov 13 '18 at 17:04

Please visit the link. Its well explained. If you have further doubt post a new question. – Subhasish Bhattacharjee Nov 13 '18 at 17:16
@SubhasishBhattacharjee you can create an array with a generic element type: it just has to be reifiable, e.g. `new ArrayList>[V]` is allowed. – Andy Turner Nov 13 '18 at 17:22
