Type mismatch (String)

I am writing a pretty basic program. In the constructor I am setting a value with data type String to "queue" (line 9) and getting a notification that says "Type mismatch: cannot convert from java.lang.String to String". It's pretty basic code, and am not sure why I am getting an error for this. I would appreciate any help I could get on this.

Code:

---

public class LinkedList<String>  {
       
        public String name;
        public ArrayList<ListNode> list;
        int listSize;
       
       
        public LinkedList(){ //basic constructor (for queue)
                this.name = "queue"; //give name
                this.list = null;
                listSize = 0;
        }
}

---

The problem is that the LinkedList class is using a real type String as a formal type parameter. That overshadows String so the compiler doesn't recognize String as String.

If you want to use generics use the following:

Code:

---

publc class LinkdeList<T> {
...
}
