Type mismatch: cannot convert from ChromeDriver to WebDriver in selenium webdriver with java

Question

i am trying this code but it fails

import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.chrome.ChromeDriver;

  public class Fijan {

public static void main(String[] args) {
    // TODO Auto-generated method stub

    System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", "C:Users\\Devrepublic\\Documents\\fijan\\selenium\\chromedriver_win32\\chromedriver");
    WebDriver driver =  new ChromeDriver();
    driver.get("");
    }

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.Error: Unresolved compilation problem: Type mismatch: cannot convert from ChromeDriver to WebDriver

at prac.Fijan.main(Fijan.java:12)

Why do you want to cast a `ChromeDriver` to a `WebDriver`? It's obvious that this does not work, and your IDE should already tell you about it — Nico Haase, May 06 '19 at 07:43
I think you need add extension in path (.exe) may be this helps.. — Pradnya Bolli, May 06 '19 at 07:45
