[SalesForce] Execute anonymous unexpected token ‘<'

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?

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>>();

[SalesForce] Unexpected Token – List

"List" is a reserved keyword and hence it cant be used as a variable name .You can change the name and should work

public class Picker{
   public static List<Type__c> getTypes(){
      List<Type__c> listtype= [select Name from Type__c where Name = 'Person'];
     return listtype;
  }
}

You are missing a closing parenthesis.

InvoiceAccount__c InvA = new InvoiceAccount__c(Name='Acme', Account_Owner_Email__c='Tiger5K@outlook.com', Account_Owner_Name__c='Sabrina Smith';

should be

InvoiceAccount__c InvA = new InvoiceAccount__c(Name='Acme', Account_Owner_Email__c='Tiger5K@outlook.com', Account_Owner_Name__c='Sabrina Smith');
