When we are try to instantiate java.util.LinkedList, It is suggesting LinkedList

enter image description here

Same way, When we are try to instantiate java.util.List, It is suggesting ArrayList

enter image description here

But, When we are try to instantiate java.util.List, It is suggesting only ArrayList and LinkedList is not an option.

enter image description here

Actually It is not a problem and manually we are able to do like 

List<String> linkedList = new LinkedList<>();

But What my question is there any specific reason behind this?

    Presumably because `ArrayList` is a far more frequently used implementation of `List` than `LinkedList` is. – khelwood Apr 15 '20 at 12:51

    Even Josh Bloch, who wrote LinkedList, [questions how useful it actually is](https://twitter.com/joshbloch/status/583813919019573248). – Andy Turner Apr 15 '20 at 12:54
