Example.java:21: error: reached end of file while parsing

Not sure all my braces seem to be in the right place but i keep getting Example.java:21: error: reached end of file while parsing

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 ("Hisoka"); { System.out.printf ("the Dispenser is %s %n", dispenser.getCharacterName() ); } if (dispenser.isEmpty()) { System.out.println ("Dispenser is empty"); } System.out.println("Filling the despenser with the good stuff..."); dispenser.fill(); if (!dispenser.isEmpty()){ System.out.println("Dispenser is full"); }

}

You're very very close ! I've put the code in a Java format so you can read it back. Very carefully re-examine this code and see where you went wrong. You are on the right track. It has to do with curly braces.

Small hint below. Look at the structure with the curly braces. 

     if (condition) { 
          //Do something... Like
          System.out.println ("Some challenge with dispensers"); 
          }

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 ("Hisoka"); 
     { System.out.printf ("the Dispenser is %s %n", dispenser.getCharacterName() ); } 

     if (dispenser.isEmpty()) { System.out.println ("Dispenser is empty"); }
          System.out.println("Filling the despenser with the good stuff..."); 
          dispenser.fill(); 

     if (!dispenser.isEmpty()){ 
        System.out.println("Dispenser is full"); 
     }

}

If you need more help, do ask :) !

public class Example {
public static void main(String[] args) {

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("Yoda"); 
 { 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 delicious PEZ..");   
   dispenser.fill();

if (!dispenser.isEmpty() ) 
 { System.out.println("Dispenser is full"); }

} }

I've made the setup look cleaner so it can be easier for me to read in future lessons. I think I was missing a bracket or something.
