In the previous question the error is pointing to the period or extension.
Example.java:7: error: cannot find symbol
System.out.printf("The dispenser character is %s\n", dispenser.getCharacterName());
symbol: method getCharacterName()
location: variable dispenser of type PezDispenser

621 PointsHello Jeremy Thanks for replying fast, here is the code:
public class Example {
public static void main(String[] args) {
// Your amazing code goes here...
System.out.println("We are a making a new Pez Dispenser");
PezDispenser dispenser = new PezDispenser();
System.out.printf("The dispenser character is %s\n", dispenser.getCharacterName());
}
}
