  <blockquote>
    <p>The instantiation of a generic type with actual type arguments is called a parameterized type . 
    Example (of a parameterized type): </p>
    
    <p><code>Collection&lt;String&gt; coll = new LinkedList&lt;String&gt;();</code></p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>So what is the parameterized type? </p>
  
  <ul>
  <li><code>Collection&lt;String&gt;</code> or</li>
  <li><code>LinkedList&lt;String&gt;</code></li>
  </ul>
