Invalid constructor syntax, name=value pairs can only be used for SObjects: contact

// Create a list of contacts
List<Contact> conList = new List<Contact> {
        new Contact(FirstName='Joe',LastName='Smith',Department='Finance'),
        new Contact(FirstName='Kathy',LastName='Smith',Department='Technology'),
        new Contact(FirstName='Caroline',LastName='Roth',Department='Finance'),
        new Contact()};
            
// Bulk insert all contacts with one DML call
Database.SaveResult[] srList = Database.insert(conList, false);
// Iterate through each returned result
for (Database.SaveResult sr : srList) {
    if (sr.isSuccess()) {
        // Operation was successful, so get the ID of the record that was processed
        System.debug('Successfully inserted contact. Contact ID: ' + sr.getId());
    } else {
        // Operation failed, so get all errors
        for(Database.Error err : sr.getErrors()) {
            System.debug('The following error has occurred.');
            System.debug(err.getStatusCode() + ': ' + err.getMessage());
            System.debug('Contact fields that affected this error: ' + err.getFields());
	 }
    }
}
I am getting invalid constructor syntax error in anonymous apex. this code is from trailhead in which database method is used.

Hi Nitish,
Just check if you have an apex class named Contact.
If so delete that class or rename it.

Hi Nitish, I came across the same error but couldn't understand how to overcome it! Can you tell me what change you did to the code. I haven't created any class just in the Anonymous window I tried to execute the code
