Execute anonymous unexpected token '<'












1















I receive this error:




Line: 5, Column: 4 unexpected token: '<'




When executing this code in the execute anonymous window in the developer console:



Map<String, List<Custom_Object__c>> idsToCustomObjectList = Map<String, List<Custom_Object__c>>();


Why do I get this error? How can I fix it?

          The error is a little misleading. You are missing the new keyword when you assign idsToCustomObjectList.



          Map<String, List<Custom_Object__c>> idsToCustomObjectList = new Map<String, List<Custom_Object__c>>();
