Difference between List<Object> and List

Question

What is the difference between this lines:

List<Object> list = new ArrayList<Object>();

and

List list = new ArrayList();

As i understand, all is object and when you do just List list, you just mentioned that.

Answer 1

Ultimately both statements are same. In this case there is no difference since every class in java extends Object.

You'll see the difference , if you take any specific object other than Object.

For ex:

List<String>  vs List
