An error

http://prntscr.com/c81k5i

Ok so I made a new method which returned the value of "mPezCount".

I thought that whenever we make a new instance of the class the constructor would automatically set the value of the field variable "mPezCount" = 0 for that object.

But when I used java-repl to run that method and to get the value of mPezCount, I was expecting "0", but it gave me an error. Why is this so?

if im reading that correctly you forgot to put the ending paranthases and semicolon ();

pd.getPezCount();

also be sure that your variable is of the correct casing either upper or lower, javas pretty picky about stuff like that XD

Daniel is correct. Your code is correct up to the point at which you call your getPezCount method.

You wrote: pd.getPezCount //Almost correct Correct solution: pd.getPezCount(); //You were missing the parentheses () and the semicolon ;

Good luck!
