Can not create an object.

public class PezDispenser{
 public static final int MAX_PEZ = 10;
 private String mCharacterName;
 private mPezCount;

 public PezDispenser(String characterName) {
  mCharacterName = characterName;
  mPezCount = 0;
 }

 public isEmpty() {
  return mPezCount == 0;
 }

 public void load() {
  mPezCount = MAX_PEZ;
 }
}

here is what i'm typing to the java repl:

java> PezDispenser pd = PezDispenser("Yoda");

here is what i get:

java.util.NoSuchElementException

Rebecca Rich is right - currently you're referring to PezDispenser("Yoda"), which would need to be a method returning an object of PezDispenser to make this work. If you're using 'new', you create an instance of this class (the object we need) and return it into pd.

Hope I explained it not too confusingly.

kind regards, Michael

Since you're trying your program in the REPL, did you load it? I think the Syntax was ":load [filename].java" while you're in REPL. The NoSuchElementException is hinting that something you wanted him to look for could not be found.

Hope this helps.

Kind regards, Michael
