Expressing ourselves more concisely

Brevity is the soul of wit. In the this task, let's celebrate brevity by doing the following: create a list, read 5 strings from the keyboard, add them to the list, find the shortest string, and then display it. If several strings are shortest, we'll display them all, each on a new line. Any questions, private?!

I was using the below line to declare the list, List<String> list = new ArrayList<>(); This makes the code verification failing. but surprisingly when I changed that line to below, ArrayList<String> list = new ArrayList<>(); This makes the code verification pass! This questions requirements needs to be corrected or the verification needs to be improved. Admins please look into this issue! Thanks :)

Since the lectures talk about ArrayList, then ArrayList is expected in the tasks)

Why isn't it correct to declare the list of strings as a List?

i don't get it, why don't we indicate an ArrayList at first. why are we asked to define a List of Strings first and then initialize it with an ArrayList? Can anybody help me?
