The hint proposing change in generic type may by useful when there are incompatible generic types in the assignment.

Let's have a code:
List<Integer> ss = new LinkedList<String>();

now there is provided hint to change List<Integer> to LinkedList<String>, but the correct code can be also 'List<String>'
