I'm doing the beginner Java track and have found myself stuck for the second time.
First question is asking to declare a list of rocks with most of the code already written.
So I started with
List<String> rocks = new ArrayList<>();
I've re-watched the video several times now and this exact syntax is used as far as I can tell with groceryLine instead of rocks. But it wont accept it here. I don't know what the question is looking for.

Note that "Rock" is an object class defined later in that same code.

I'm just more confused than before sorry.
Out of curiosity I tried List<Rocks> or list<rock> or list<object> but none of that works, but i figured that much.
