Im missing a curly bracket somewhere not sure on my code. Its my only error. I seem to be having trouble with it heres my code.
public class Example {
public static void main(String[] args) {
// Your amazing code goes here...
System.out.println("We are making a new Pez dispenser!");
System.out.printf("FUN FACT: There are %d PEZ allowed in every dispenser %n",
PezDispenser.MAX_PEZ);
PezDispenser dispenser = new PezDispenser("Donatello");
System.out.printf("The dispenser is %s \n",
dispenser.getCharacterName()
);
if(dispenser.isEmpty(() -> {
System.out.println("Dispenser is empty");} ))
System.out.println("Filling the dispenser with gangsta PEZ...");
dispenser.fill();
if (!dispenser.isEmpty(() -> {
System.out.println("dispenser is full");
}
It pin points to my last bracket being the problem I just dont know how to give a solution for the problem.

I'm not guru, but it seems to me that it's not the right case for lambda expression. Actually, I see no advantage to write:
if(dispenser.isEmpty(() -> { System.out.println("Dispenser is empty");} ))
instead of:
if(dispenser.isEmpty()) { System.out.println("Dispenser is empty");}
the last one looks even shorter and, IMHO, more understandable.
Nevertheless, after getting rid of lambdas and adding two closing curly brackets at the end of code, You will get Your example compiled. (I've just checked it out)
public class Example {
public static void main(String[] args) {
// Your amazing code goes here...
System.out.println("We are making a new Pez dispenser!");
System.out.printf("FUN FACT: There are %d PEZ allowed in every dispenser %n",
PezDispenser.MAX_PEZ);
PezDispenser dispenser = new PezDispenser("Donatello");
System.out.printf("The dispenser is %s \n",
dispenser.getCharacterName()
);
if(dispenser.isEmpty()) {
System.out.println("Dispenser is empty");}
System.out.println("Filling the dispenser with gangsta PEZ...");
dispenser.fill();
if (!dispenser.isEmpty()) {
System.out.println("dispenser is full");
}
}
}
P.S. Thanks for question ! It motivated me to look up lambdas in documentation :-)

7,002 PointsThe code I provide above was compiled by me for sure ! You may copy-paste it and try yourself, but as well You may provide Your new code here (without lambdas and with curly bracket) to see what else is wrong... It's up to You.

Courses Plus Student 5,423 PointsHello Bryan if you still have that problem...did you try to add one more curly bracket at the end?
Bryan Castillo

2,484 PointsThere must be something else wrong because I cant compile without lambdas and I still get the parsing error even when I add the other curly brackets.
