What is this happening ?

In Java repl, I created a List of String and added three fruits in it. But it shows List of String when i simply write "fruit".

fruit                                                                                       
java.util.List<java.lang.String> fruit = [apple, peach, watermelon]

And shows ArrayList when i write "fruit;"

fruit;                                                                                      
java.util.ArrayList res17 = [apple, peach, watermelon]

Why is this happening and why i am getting different results for both of them ?

Hello

I believe you meant to type:

"apple", "peach", "watermelon"

if this answers your question, please mark the question as answered.

Thanks
