Add string object to linkedlist in java

I'm trying to add string objects to a linked list but i keep getting an error when I try to return the list

import java.util.LinkedList;
import java.util.ListIterator;

public class StacksAndQueues {
    LinkedList<String> list = new LinkedList<String>();
    private String[] words = {"goats", "cheese"};

    public StacksAndQueues() {}

    public String Add() {
        /**
           This method is used to load an array of string objects
           into a linked list
        */
        int x;
        for (x=0; x < words.length; x++) {
            list.add(x, words[x]);
        }

        return list;
    }
}

in your code you are trying to return list while return type is given as String, change return type to List and it will work.

If you want to return the list from your Add() method then you will need to change the signature of the method.

public LinkedList<String> Add () {
    /**
     This method is used to load an array of string objects
     into a linked list
    */
    int x;
    for (x=0; x < words.length; x++) {
        list.add(x, words[x]);
    }

    return list;
}
