1,082 PointsThanks Jacob. I've added an extra } at the end. Now it's telling me I'm missing a return statement. Can you tell me where this error may lie?

24,604 PointsCurrently, your dispense method will only return a boolean value if it is not empty. You want to have the return statement outside of the if statement to correct this.
public boolean dispense () {
boolean wasDispensed = false;
if (!isEmpty()) {
mPezCount--;
wasDispensed = true;
}
return wasDispensed;
}
