Are you having a difficulty with this? If so, what is it?

Plese modify the code as below 
Try the below code and let me know if this worked.

trigger createcontacts on Account (after insert) {
L​ist<contact> con=new list<contact>();     
   
   for(account acc:trigger.new)
  {
   contact c1=new contact();
     c1.accountid=acc.id;
     c1.lastname=acc.name;
     con.add(c1);
 }

Oops I found that there was a hidden character in my code in the word 'List' something as L*ist. Please copy the below one. I also have done a small correction 
  
trigger createcontacts on Account (after insert) {
L​ist<contact> con=new list<contact>();     
   
   for(account acc:trigger.new)
  {
   contact c1=new contact();
     c1.accountid=acc.id;
     c1.lastname=acc.name;
     con.add(c1);
 }
   if(con.size>0){
     insert con;
}
}
