Error in final java objects

Question

I keep receiving this error when I have the same code in my example.java
Example.java:13: error: ';' expected                                                                                                                                                                         
                    dispenser.getCharacterName());  
This is the 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");
    PezDispenser dispenser = new PezDispenser("Yoda");
    System.out.printf("The dispenser is %s %n",
                      dispenser.getCharacterName()
                     );
  String before = dispenser.swapHead("Darth Vader");
  System.out.printf("It was %s but Chris switched it to %s %n"
                    before,
                    dispenser.getCharacterName());
  }
}

It looks like you have 1 too many closing braces at the end of your program. Or you just need to move the closing brace down one . Which means it is not picking up the semi-colon.

```java
This is the 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");
 PezDispenser dispenser = new PezDispenser("Yoda"); 
System.out.printf("The dispenser is %s %n", dispenser.getCharacterName() ); 
String before = dispenser.swapHead("Darth Vader"); 
System.out.printf("It was %s but Chris switched it to %s %n" before, dispenser.getCharacterName()); 
  }
//^ this " } " is extra
}
```
