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?

  • That cannot possibly be your entire script. The error says Line: 5. Also, please note that the format here is to ask a question. Saying thanks for any help does not ask anything.

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>>();
